The value of tmnxOamPmCfgThrDelayExclBinFrTca specifies the bin number of the lowest delay bin to be excluded from the OAM-PM TCA calculations for the specified bin group, bin type, and direction. Configuring tmnxOamPmCfgThrDelayExclBinFrTca allows outlier high delay frames to be ignored when deciding to raise or clear a delay TCA. For example, suppose the following values are configured for bin group 255. Object Value tmnxOamPmCfgBinGroupFdBinCount.255 10 tmnxOamPmCfgThrDelayLowestBin.255.fd(1).forward(1) 6 tmnxOamPmCfgThrDelayExclBinFrTca.255.fd(1).forward(1) 8 Then, the decision to raise or clear a Frame Delay (FD) TCA for the forward direction will be made based on the packet counts in bins 6 and 7 (while ignoring the packet counts in bins 8 and 9). Configuring tmnxOamPmCfgThrDelayExclBinFrTca to the value -1 specifies that no bins are to be excluded. Configuring tmnxOamPmCfgThrDelayExclBinFrTca does not affect the value of delay bin packet counters (e.g. tmnxOamPmStsDelayDmmBinFwdCount). An attempt to change tmnxOamPmCfgThrDelayExclBinFrTca to a non-default value will be rejected if the specified bin does not exist. Bins are created using: tmnxOamPmCfgBinGroupFdBinCount, tmnxOamPmCfgBinGroupFdrBinCount, tmnxOamPmCfgBinGroupIfdvBinCount, and tmnxOamPmCfgBinGroupRowStatus. An attempt to change tmnxOamPmCfgThrDelayExclBinFrTca to a non-default value will be rejected if tmnxOamPmCfgThrDelayExclBinFrTca is less than or equal to tmnxOamPmCfgThrDelayLowestBin. An attempt to change tmnxOamPmCfgThrDelayExclBinFrTca will be rejected if the specified bin group (i.e. tmnxOamPmCfgBinGroupId) is 1. tmnxOamPmCfgThrDelayExclBinFrTca can be changed regardless of the specified bin group's administrative status (i.e. tmnxOamPmCfgBinGroupAdminStatus).
