Service throughput concepts
Throughput configuration description
The NFM-P allows you to create a copy of the SAP configuration of an end-user service that emulates the bandwidth, throughput, and QoS requirements of the service. You can perform any required OAM diagnostics on the service while sending the traffic through the NEs, to compare the customer SLA with current measurements and report the results.
Throughput configuration support
Throughput configurations are supported as shown in the following table.
You can create a SAP based on the configuration of an existing SAP to prepare the service throughput configuration, where the port under the new SAP connects to the test entry or a loopback port as the destination.
Consider the following when you prepare a throughput test environment:
-
The SAP to be replaced must reside under a VLL Epipe, Apipe or Cpipe site, including PBB Epipes, or a VPLS site including I-VPLS and B-VPLS.
-
The following SAPs are not supported for the throughput test:
-
E-OAM objects, such as MEPs, are not copied to the test SAP.
You can view existing service throughput configurations on the Throughput Configuration tab of a service. Services and sites with a service throughput configuration have the Modified for Throughput Test parameter enabled on the General tab of the service or site.
