According to the company, by employing a combination of operations, administration and maintenance (OAM), service creation and assurance functionality, these units allow service providers to deploy, monitor and maintain carrier-grade ethernet services over multi-vendor, multi-technology and multi-carrier networks.
Ethernet service OAM, based on the IEEE 802.1ag and ITU-T Y.1731 standards, provides a set of features for connectivity fault management and performance monitoring.
Patrick Ostiguy, founding president and CEO of Accedian Networks, said: We also cover key gaps in the standards by offering functionality impossible to implement in software, such as seamless in-service throughput testing, automated turn-up testing, and advanced ethernet and IP performance monitoring that cover all aspects of packet performance assurance.
