French term or phrase:bagotement
S'il ya une alarm E1 "XYZ"Port 1 10E-3 BER Exceeded", cela signifie qu'il y a un taux important d'erreur sur le MIC, peut-être dû à un >>bagotement<< du MIC."
Would this be an overload? I don't find the term in my sources. I know that this refers to the bit error rate (BER). Is the MIC a microwave integrated circuit or something else? It's in context of an alarm on an E1 connection. I don't need to know what the MIC (though it helps, of course). I just need to know what bagotement is.
Explanation: I can't provide any references other than having stuck the term in a personal glossary of mine when I came across the word whilst doing a telephony translation way back when I was practically in short trousers. I've got it down as "noise on the line".
If this bagotement causes an error if it is reaches a significant level, then I would say interference is a distinct possibility in the context, n'est-ce pas?

BER = bit error rate (which you know), being the ratio of received bits that contain errors.
Interference = unwanted communication channel noise. Which would presumably cause transmitted bits to contain errors, and therefore push up the BER....
Thank you, Charlie! Thank you also, Francis, for insight into the military connection. Not knowing the exact technology being described, I didn't feel comfortable using "movement", "fluctation" or "noise", though doubtless these could be right in certain contexts. So, "interference" it is for me in this case. I appreciate your help! 4 KudoZ points were awarded for this answer
Oh, I see. No, the text is not about routers. But it is about connections between packet over TDM equipment (OSS/BSS) in a wireless voice/data network.

The MIC could be a media interface connector.
