Subject: DS3 MIB - Unavailable Seconds

I haven't yet received a response to this...

UAS Description says:

   "With respect to the DS3 error counts, all counters are incremented
    while the DS3 interface is deemed available.  While the
    interface is deemed unavailable, the only count that is
    incremented is UASs."

   What exactly are the "error counts"? Are they the code violations
   (LCVs, PCVs, CCVs) and/or the performance parameters? 

   Most of the performance parameters (except UASs) explicitly state
   that they are not to be incremented when the interface is 
   unavailable. These include PESs, PSESs, CESs, CSESs. However 
   the remaining two (LESs and SEFSs) do not state anything, so 
   should they increment or not?

Thanks in advance,
