SES threshold (30%), or at least one NE defect occurred.
BBE (Background Block Error) (G.826 only): Gives the count of Errored

seconds within which no SES errors are detected.
ESR (Errored Second Ratio): Gives the ratio of the number of ES in
available time (AS) during a fixed measurement interval.
ESR = ES ÷ AS
