Common Framework for OAM IEEE 802.1 Meeting San Diego July 16th-20th, 2012 by Tissa Senevirathne Donald Eastlake 3rd
Explore complementary OAM model between IEEE 802.1 and IETF/TRILL • Explore Leveraging Existing OAM Framework for the purpose Objective
Goal of OAM • Complement and coexist rather than re-invent and compete • OAM Framework • Common OAM frame structure • Common OAM concepts/semantics/Functional elements • Common OAM messaging format • This allow us to reuse the same framework • Faster Time to Market • Uniform user experience OAM Model

OAM Message structures are similar between many technologies • Most OAM functions are common across technologies • Yet, there are no established common OAM framework Encapsulation Header Flow Entropy Message Channel Drives OAM Functions SHOULD be common across Technologies (SDO) Technology Dependent Addresses MEP (end Points) Drives Forwarding decisions Technology Dependent Influence Forwarding decisions Common OAM Frame Structure
Common OAM Functional elements • Maintenance Domains • Maintenance Associations (MA) • Maintenance End Points (MEP) • Maintenance Intermediate Points (MIP) Common OAM Concepts/Functional Elements
Utilize 802.1ag Messaging • Re-use TLV and opcodes where commonality exist • IETF/TRILL specific opcodes for Technology specific functions. Common OAM Message Channel
Your comment/Feedback on the general direction of having a common OAM framework between IEEE and TRILL/IETF • If we do agree this is the right thing to do • Then how can we collaborate and workout the details ? Next Steps
