Error Analysis
Possible errors that can be detected are:
FAS (Frame Alignment Signal): Indicates the FAS bits in error.
MFAS (Multiframe Alignment Signal): Indicates the MFAS bits in error.
OTU-BIP-8 (OTU - Bit Interleave Parity-8): Indicates the SM BIP-8
mismatch between the received value and locally computed value
(0 to 8).
OTU-BEI (OTU - Backward Error Indication): Indicates SM BEI errors
received from the DUT (value 0 to 8).
