No FECs recorded even though interleaved
« on: October 11, 2017, 03:55:00 PM »

A few days ago I noticed that none were showing despite being listed for monitoring; neither is any shown in Telnet.
It's not of great concern, but I do wonder what the cause of the non collection of the stats could be.

I'm afraid I can't read that data. Could you post a copy of the Connection Stats page in the Telnet Data.

INP 0, Depth 1 and R 0 suggests fastpath to me. The high ES also suggests this. Perhaps it's just wrongly reporting channel Interleaved.

Yes, I agree with j0hn, you're on fastpath. There are lots of HECs and quite a lot of CRCs (code violations) but no FECs. The downstream depth (presumably interleaving depth) is 1, which means no interleaving.

As above, but a little bit more info.
DSL has a couple of different bearer channels over which it can send data - Fast Path and Interleaved Path.  If the SP uses INP then they tend to use the interleave channel which allows for easily configurable parameters for error protection.   INP=0 or Interleave=1 indicates that data is being transmitted over the interleaved path, but the data isnt actually being interleaved.

Historically we used to say FAST path or Interleaved Path, but since ADSL2 its actually more correct to use the term error protection or INP which covers both interleave and RS encoding.
Its possible to have a small amount of RS encoding without interleave being applied..  in fact Openreach does this on FTTC upstream by default, which is why we may sometimes see upstream FEC despite interleaving being 'off'.

Thanks Kitz et al for the explanation. The situation was confusing, because of the minimal supposed depth of the interleaving, lack of sync loss and, finally, that the other not currently used router used to report no interleaving.

BTW is anything else in those connection stats worthy of comment?
