Performance Monitoring
For M.2100 ISM: Gives the count of the seconds within which
anomalies (frame bit errors, CRC block errors, etc.) are Y or at least
one defect occurred. Y depends on the type of DSn/PDH signal as
described in the following table.
BBE (Background Block Error) (G.826, G.828, G.829, and M.2101):
Gives the count of Errored Block not occurring as part of a SES.
