Ethernet OAM Maintenance Entities in ITU-T Q.3/13 Dinesh Mohan Paul Bottorff Nortel Networks
Ethernet Layer Ethernet OAM Layering Customer Service Provider Customer Eth Access MPLS Core MPLS Access Device View CE U-PE B B N-PE P P P N-PE P U-PE CE • An example to highlight network/service involving Ethernet and other technologies • The Ethernet Layer implies the visibility to Ethernet frames
OAM Domain – Service/Network Customer Service Provider Customer Eth Access MPLS Core MPLS Access Customer Domain Provider Domain Operator Domain Operator Domain Operator Domain • Domains concept is necessary to contain OAM flows & bound OAM responsibilities
Maintenance Entity Point Maintenance Intermediate Point Maintenance Entity Points (MEP) & Maintenance Intermediate Points (MIP) Customer Service Provider Customer Eth Access MPLS Core MPLS Access Customer Domain Service OAM Provider Domain Operator Domain Operator Domain Operator Domain Network OAM PW/MPLS OAM MPLS Domain MPLS Domain • Location of MEPs and MIPs is dependent on Business Models & Deployment Scenarios
Services Service OAM Network Network OAM Transport Links Ethernet link OAM PW/MPLS OAM EoSONET OAM Other OAM Service/Network OAM – How does it come together? • OAM Interworking possible to utilize OAM across Layers • However, each layer must support OAM capabilities independently
