Figure 8.134-1: Maximum Packet Loss Rate

The UL flag in octet 5 indicates whether the Maximum Packet Loss Rate UL value in octets ‘m to m+1’ shall be present. If UL is set to ‘1’, then the Maximum Packet Loss Rate UL value shall be present. If UL is set to ‘0’, then octets ‘m to m+1’ shall not be present.

The DL flag in octet 5 indicates whether the Maximum Packet Loss Rate DL value in octets ‘o to o+1’ shall be present. If DL is set to ‘1’, then the Maximum Packet Loss Rate DL value shall be present. If DL is set to ‘0’, then octets ‘o to o+1’ shall not be present.

The Maximum Packet Loss Rate for UL and DL shall be coded as an unsigned integer in the range of 0 to 1000. It shall be interpreted as Ratio of lost packets per number of packets sent, expressed in tenth of percent.
