The ITU recommend the following levels:

5,6,7 =3D Customer
3,4  =3D Provider
1,2  =3D Operator
0    =3D Local segment

I don't know if there are any rules of thumb for the CCM interval - faster =
is more sensitive & unstable, slow is sluggish but stable. The spec allows =
between 3.33 ms and 10 minutes in 7 steps, with 1s being the midpoint. So w=
e use 1s intervals.

I'm not sure if the other parameters you mention are configurable for CCM. =
I think the packet has a constant size. Are you wanting to also do Y.1731 p=
erformance management?
