PM Session OAM

Overview

PM Session CFM testing is based on Metro Ethernet Forum Specification 35 - Service OAM Performance Monitoring Implementation Agreement. Testing is performed in Layer 2 networks. The reporting of results occurs at standardized measurement intervals (15 minutes, 1 hour, and 1 day), and comprises a statistical summary of the results of individual test frames.

The PM Session testing framework can also be utilized in the IP domain to perform TWAMP IP level monitoring, and handles both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. The TWAMP Light test targets Layer 3 interfaces. It provides an option to monitor IP SLA performance as related to KPI.
