Ethernet Access Devices and Routers

Ensure profitable Ethernet service delivery by streamlining the deployment, monitoring and maintenance of your carrier ethernet network.

This practical guide describes the various test procedures, along with implementation considerations and recommendations for use at turn-up, ongoing monitoring and other critical points throughout the service lifecycle to ensure quality of service and maintain Ethernet COS.

A RAD-sponsored guide to Ethernet OAM standards, including IEEE 802.3-2005 (previously 802.3ah, Clause 57), IEEE 802.1ag and ITU-T Y.1731OAM is a set of functions designed to monitor network operation in order to detect network faults and measure its performance. As Ethernet evolves from enterprise-level LANs to carrier-class networks and services, it requires automated end-to-end management and monitoring by service providers.
