When WAN links degrade or fail, end users notice quickly and solutions must be found and implemented promptly.
Several standards address performance monitoring of T1 links. This appendix lists the most common counters that are available in end-user devices. Monitoring this data can help you spot trouble before it becomes critical, and time series data may help correlate performance issues with other network changes.

High-end CSU/DSUs may collect the data for a short time period so it is available to local network administrators. For network administrators, the best CSU/DSUs are often the integrated units sold by router vendors, because they collect performance data for long periods and expose it to network management applications by the router SNMP agent.
