Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) as defined by the draft IEEE P802.1ag as well as the ITU-T Y.1731 standard, is a key functionality in the implementation of Ethernet Operations, Administration and Maintenance (E-OAM) capability in carrier networks.
With CFM, Service Providers gain end-to-end diagnostic capabilities essential for rapidly detecting and locating faults on their networks, when providing reliable delivery of delay-sensitive triple-play services over Ethernet based carrier networks.
The Net-O2 ATTEST 802.1ag CFM test suite verifies the CFM capabilities of end points and intermediate points as defined by Virtual Bridged Local Area Networks - Amendment 5: Connectivity Fault Management - IEEE P802.1ag/D8. ATTEST CFM test
cases provide verification of CFM messages and configuration of Carrier Ethernet Switches.
Together with other Carrier Ethernet test suites such as EFM-OAM, VLAN, RSTP, MSTP and LACP,
Net-O2 provides a comprehensive solution for conformance testing of Carrier Ethernet Switches.
