WIS -- B1 processing

[Stephen.Finch@xxxxxx]

Reference figure 50-3.

The WIS generates and checks the B1 (BIP-8) value.  I can find no where
that the results of the check are used.  What should be done with any
error count that results?  There are no MDIO registers defined to take
this value.  Section 30.8.1.1.7 defines a counter that appears to hold
this info.

Per T1.231 Section 9.2.3.1; "... Performance monitoring using the BIP-8
for SONET Sections is application specific."

Seems stupid to generate and check it, but ignore any errors that
result.

Am I missing something?
