Automatic protection switch unresolved transient codes

Description

The local node has attempted to communicate with far-end node of a 1+1_OPTM protection group and has not received the expected change in K-bytes from the far-end node. Transient codes are only received while the local node is waiting for a response from the far-end node or is in the process of responding to K-byte changes from the far-end node, yet they are persisting.
