Ethernet Service OAM: Overview,Applications,Deployment,and Issues

Overview As the number of Ethernet service instances grows, service providers will require a robust set of management tools to maintain Ethernet service networks. The positive news is that IEEE 802.1, ITU SG 13, and the MEF have been working in close cooperation to develop complimentary standards for multi-domain Ethernet Service OAM. Ethernet Service OAM encompasses Fault Management and Performance Management capabilities that are incorporated in NEs that support Ethernet services. The goals of this paper are to provide an overview of relevant standards, summarize the multi-domain model and key capabilities of Ethernet Service OAM, define the major protocol aspects, and provide some examples of how service providers may use this toolkit of OAM functionality.
