Description: This attribute indicates the congestion state of the transmit cell memory for this FP.

This attribute indicates which txCellMemoryThresholds corresponds to the current value of txCellMemoryUsage. The congestion state is used to determine if cells of a particular discard priority (DP) are discarded before being queued for transmit.

The congestion state of transmit cell memory is indicated by a numeric value ranging from 3 to 0. When transmit cell memory is in congestion state 'x', traffic with DP > 'x' is discarded before transmit. Traffic with DP < 'x' may be queued for transmit, depending on the congestion level of the connection transmit queue. Traffic with DP = 'x' may be either queued or discarded depending on how close the value of txCellMemoryUsage is to the next threshold as displayed in txCellMemoryThresholds. For example, CLP1 traffic is queued until the value indicated by txCellMemoryUsage equals the value indicated in txCellMemoryThresholds 3. At that point, CLP1 traffic is discarded.

What is lpEngArcTxCellMemoryCongestionState?

Reports the transmit cell memory's congestion level (0-3) on this FP: traffic with discard priority (DP) greater than the current state is dropped before transmit, while lower-DP traffic keeps being queued, so an admin sees this rise toward 0 as the FP begins shedding lower-priority ATM cells.
