Remote Defect Indication Detector -
Quote
RDI cells are an OAM function of the ATM layer (PTM too?) "used for reporting remote defect indications in the backward direction"
from Asbokid's post earlier in this thread - not sure I understand this! Although on the "values for bitwise left shift operations" interpretation of the Broadcom codes, advocated by Asbokid, Reason 1 becomes Code 0, LOS Detector (Loss Of Signal?), i.e. 1=2^0. RDI Detector is Reason 2 (2^1) on this interpretation.

I also had a Reason 1 shortly after getting the new firmware - it seemed to be a DLM resync, that was always a Reason 2 with the old firmware. I suspect, based on the very limited evidence so far, that the meanings of the Retrain Reasons may have changed in the new firmware. We have both seen a Reason 1, which was very rare before, and you have also had a Reason 6 - unheard of before?

Anyone know what retain reason 10000 is?  I had a resync this afternoon and that is the reason specified.

Looks like I had severely errored seconds at that time for some reason.

1<<16 = 0x10000 kRetrainReasonSes

I don't think these codes really matter much, it's not like if you see a certain code that means you need to call out Openreach.

It's unlikely anyone will know, because that list of retrain reason numbers comes from the non-open source parts of the Broadcom code. A couple of very old versions appear to have escaped into the wild by accident, but it would appear no-one has accidentally distributed any more recent versions, or if they have, no-one has noticed.
