FEC % Calculation

hi,
I'm trying to validate manually the cisco formula used to calculate the percentage of correctable and uncorrectable FECs and put it on a graph, however I find that my result is not exactly in the ranges mentioned by cisco, maybe I'm doing something wrong, someone has any suggestions? this is the procedure I follow:

Get values for uptream0 by snmp:

TIME 8:50 (XY0)
Interface Unerrorreads Corrected Uncorrectables
Cable1/0/U0 360300337 7358499 20809
TIME 8:55 (XY1)
Interface Unerrorreads Corrected Uncorrectables
Cable1/0/U0 360581464 7358511 20828

Formula:
%Correctable = [(Ec1 – Ec0)/ [(Eu1 – Eu0) + (Ec1 – Ec0) + (C1 – C0)]] * 100
Where:
C = Unerroreds
Ec = Correcteds
Eu = Uncorrectables

%Correctable = [(7358511 – 7358499)/ [(20828 – 20809) + (7358511 – 7358499) + (360581464 – 360300337)]] * 100

Is that correct?

Yup, that's what I do with

Yup, that's what I do with the numbers from our BSR64k, and it works like a charm.

Should look like this?
Should look like this? haven't found a relation between codeworks and SNR on my upstreams right axis SNR in dB green=snr left axis CW % dark blue=corrected clear blue=uncorrectables [IMG]http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii141/xoir/exampleFEC-SNR.png[/IMG]

Hi Bobby, which software did

Hi Bobby,

which software did you use for graph?

I was pointing where the CW

I was pointing where the CW uncorrected and SNR falls for a month, but not in all cases I find a pattern

Wittmann, it's home made development

CW vs SNR

I have seen in other upstream where the SNR is more "unstable" and the amount in percentage of uncorrected Codeworks is a bit higher and more consistent, even crosses the limit of 0.5 which is already considered risky, does this graphic looks trustworthy?

There is anybody who uses

There is anybody who uses ZABBIX to monitoring the FEC?
