Near-end failures and far-end failures follow different hierarchies. Near-end failures stand according to
whether they are for the entire signal (LOS, loss of frame alignment [LOF]), facility (MS-AIS), path
(AU-AIS, etc.) or VC (TU-AIS, etc.). The full hierarchy for near-end failures is shown in
This table is taken from Telcordia GR-253-CORE.
