| Description | The number of times the Cable Modem upstream
transmit power is adjusted during station
maintenance. When the adjustment is greater than the
power adjustment threshold the counter will be incremented.
The power adjustment threshold is chosen in an
implementation-dependent manner.
The Flap Count (ccsFlapTotal) will be incremented when this
counter is incremented.
If ccsFlapTotal is high, ccsFlapPowerAdjustments is high
but the Hits and Misses are low and ccsFlapInsertionFails
are low then the flapping is probably caused by an improper
transmit power level setting at the modem end.
This count can indicate:
Amplifier degradation,
Poor connections, or
Wind, moisture, or temperature sensitivity.
Discontinuites in the value of this counter can occur if
this entry is removed from the table and then re-added, and
are indicated by a change in the value of
ccsFlapCreateTime. |
