description

Performance management techniques have been gaining traction with those looking for OAM capabilities on par with the legacy networks that Ethernet replaces. Along with Delay and Loss measurement, throughput measurements have become an important component of the Performance management toolkit. The slides provide Ethernet performance management in detail, beginning with an overview of the technology, a comparison with what else is available today followed by a discussion of the latest Ethernet performance management features planned for the various Cisco IOS XR and Cisco IOS XE platforms.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

Frame Loss Ratio (FLR) – percentage (%) of service frames* (or synthetic frames) not delivered / Total number of service frames (or synthetic frames) transmitted in T time interval Frame Delay (FD) – round-trip/one-way delay for a service frame Frame Delay Variation (FDV) – Variation in frame delay between a pair of service frame Service Availability

* Service frames (Green) are frames that conform to agreed upon level of bandwidth profile conformance

Poll Question #3

Select the “best” answer describing the need for Ethernet throughput tests in your network ?

[Single choice] Bidirectional Ethernet throughput tests are critical in my network Unidirectional Ethernet throughput tests are critical in my network

Ethernet throughput tests are NOT my top priority

How important is the signaling of Dataplane Loopback request in your environment?

[Single choice] Very important, must have signaled Loopback for deployment

Desirable

Not important, command line triggered Loopback would suffice
