+# 1 Feature Overview
+The PCS Error counters feature collects PCS Errors from Brcm silicons and help customers determine condition of physcial ethernet link
+
+
+
+## 1.1 Requirements
+PCS Error counters feature should cover Broadcom silicons include Tomahawk-1, Tomahawk-2, Trident-3 and Tomahawk-3
+SONiC shall be able collect PCS Error counters of individual port
+SONiC shall be able to display PCS Error counters of individual port
+PCS error counters should be collected at same rate as other counters.
+Below PCS counters should be collected:
+- For 10G/40G/100G NRZ without FEC
+  Errored Block Count
+  BER Count
+- For PAM4 ports or ports with RS FEC enabled
+  FEC correctable errors
+  FEC  uncorrectable errors
+
+### 1.1.1 Functional Requirements
+
+
+### 1.1.3 Scalability Requirements
+PCS Error counters feature shall be supported on all physcial ports. All the platform design, SDK, and ASIC constraints should be considered.
+
+
+### 1.1.4 Warm Boot Requirements
+Interfaces PCS Error counters must be retained across warmboot.
