Data Link Performance Indicators

The X.25 MPC and EMPC data link between the DMS-100 and the downstream processor (DSP) carries
all of the ACD event messages that are required by the MIS.  Performance factors that should be
considered include the data link capacity and the number of links required to support the ACD MIS
application.

4.2.6.1

MPC Link Occupancy

Table 4.8 lists the performance indicators for the MPC link.
