Abstract
A performance monitoring system for a digital network is installed in network elements having performance monitoring responsibilities. Apparatus is provided for network elements, in which a bitmap representation of performance primitives detected during an acquisition interval is used as a control in the tracking and updating of network performance parameters. Immediate access to states that enable and inhibit the evaluation of individual performance parameters is available.
