apsTestBitErrorRate
Module: Nortel-Magellan-Passport-ApsMIB
OID (symbolic): Nortel-Magellan-Passport-ApsMIB::apsTestBitErrorRate
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.562.2.4.1.134.2.12.1.11
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: AsciiString
Access: read-only
Description: This attribute indicates the calculated bit error rate on the link. Test data are generated and sent in frames of a preset size (frameSize). The Test component tries to estimate the number of bit errors in any errored frame which is identifiable. The statistics are updated accordingly. A lost frame (possibly due to an error on the flag sequence) is not used for the bit error rate calculation. The result is presented in the form of xEsyy, where x is the mantissa; and syy is the exponent, for example 0E+00, 2E-09. Note that the bitErrorRate is an estimate only. For more reliable test results, the test should be done over a long period. Multiple tests would also improve the confidence level of the test results.
This attribute is not displayed for ATM cards because the physical layer drops all errored frames at the controller interface.
What is apsTestBitErrorRate?
This read-only 5-character OID gives the calculated bit error rate on the tested link, presented as xEsyy (mantissa and signed exponent, e.g. 2E-09); per the MIB it's an estimate only, more reliable over longer test durations, and isn't displayed for ATM cards. Admins use this as the key summary result when evaluating whether a line's error performance meets requirements.
