8.3.11 Diagnostics

To further enhance the diagnostic capabilities of the PTP 600 Series, the storage of link

performance histograms has been extended to 31. To optimize RAM (volatile memory) usage

a cascading histogram approach has been adopted. The root histogram is identical to the

histograms in 58100 that is data is stored for one hour at a resolution of one second. In 58100

the histograms were simple cyclic buffers which never stored more that the last one hour of

data. The new cascading histogram approach daisy chains multiple histograms together.

When the first histogram fills up the overflow from the first is used as an input to the next

histogram in line. To optimize memory utilization a statistical analysis is performed on the

overflow to reduce the amount of data to be stored. In the case of the PTP 600 Series the

cascading histograms are defined as:

• Histogram 1: 1 hour at a resolution of 1 second
• Histogram 2: 24 hours at a resolution of 1 minute
• Histogram 3: 30 Days at a resolution of 1 hour
