Cisco Cable Spectrum Flap Crc Errors

1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.114.1.1.5.1.7

The number of times the CMTS upstream receiver flagged a packet with a CRC error. If ccsFlapCrcErrors is high, it indicates the cable upstream may have high noise level. The modem may not be flapping yet but it may be a potential problem. This count can indicate: Intermittent upstream, Laser clipping, or Noise bursts. Laser clipping can happen if the signal power is too high when the upstream electrical signal is converted to an optical signal. When it happens the more input produces less output, until finally there is no more increase in output. This phenomena is called laser clipping. 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.
