tmnxPortEtherDampeningTable

The tmnxPortEtherDampeningTable maintains the configuration of
Exponential Port Dampening for Ethernet Ports. Exponential Port
Dampening (EPD) is used to reduce the effect on a network topology of
a situation where a port or link may exhibit flapping due to
repetitive outage events. These events may fall outside of preset hold
timers, which are based on system re-configurations or other rare
occurrences.
          
The port being enabled for a brief period creates churning in the
network topology, then fails shortly thereafter. EPD provides a tool
to alleviate such a situation by assigning penalties to consecutive
port down events, and increases the hold-down period as the frequency
of outages increases. If the port state continues to be unstable, the
port is put into a suppressed state, and no longer reports events to
upper layers.
