I wonder if the more analytical of our members would be able to interpret the following statistics, harvested from a ZyXEL VMG1312-B10A that is acting as the CPE on a long metallic pathway, and is configured to operate only in ADSL2 (ITU-T G.992.3) mode. In particular, do the error counts hint at any possible problem?

Hi B*Cat

1st Question - how long is the uptime?

You look as if you are having error bursts with 4% of Errored Seconds being SES... so I'm betting the problem is short lived and repetitive - have you got a ES graph?

I'm having experiments with two lines one of which has an SNR of 3 and the other of 11.  There's a surprisingly similar pattern on both lines despite the SNR difference. Your interference may be similar if the uptime is low (and have the same low chance of sussing it out if it is similar ).

Is that your line B*cat?
The presence of PhyR caught my eye.

[burakkucat]

Thank you, both, for your comments. 

No, those harvested statistics do not relate to my circuit . . . but were "pushed under the door of The Cattery" early yesterday morning, with a note asking about the error counts. The only comment I could make was that without details of the relevant time-frame, etc, not a lot could be deduced.

[RealAleMadrid]

The AS figure (Available seconds) indicates an up time of almost exactly 12 days. 

[ejs]

So the error counts are basically not much. Is this one of Weaver's lines?

[j0hn]

The AS is only the time from the last resync but the accompanying ES/SES numbers are the total uptime.

Either way for at least 12 days (11.995 days) those numbers look great.
Even better if the modem uptime was longer than that.

. . . Is this one of Weaver's lines?

b*cat smiles, enigmatically.
