cator of bad receiving conditions.

Link Duration

Connection time in minutes.

T401 Timeouts and T402 Timeouts

the range of 0-100. A satellite link will introduce a delay of about 1300 T.

Number of times the modem fails to provide data octet in time for transmission.

Receiver Overrun
Number of times the modem fails to take data octet in time from receiver.
