Service

Turn-up

Validate that the circuit has been installed and provisioned correctly

Validate throughput using EtherSAM or RFC 2544 tests (multiple VLANs, COS levels) Archive test results for reporting and future comparisons (birth certificates)

ServiceMonitoring

Measure the Key Performance & Quality Indicators for the service (24x7x365)

Vendor agnostic based on Carrier Ethernet OAM standards (802.1ag/Y.1731) Alert and Alarm on service degradation and failures

Provide reports to customers, NOC users, executives and managers

ServiceTroubleshooting

Avoid truck rolls as much as possible

On-demand in-service troubleshooting using standards based testing (802.1ag/Y.1731)

On-demand out-of-service troubleshooting using standards based testing (EtherSAM or RFC2544)

If truck roll is required, ability to test from outside in

Service Turn-Up

Verify installation, provisioning, and performance of backhaul connection with line-rate test traffic

Performed by executing EtherSAM or RFC2544 test

Option 1: NOC-initiated test from CO to PEP, Test Set, or NID.

Option 2: Technician initiated test from remote Test Set to Central Office.

Validate end-to-end QoS for Service Level Agreements (SLA) Test results can be stored in BrixWorx for Birth Certificate creation

Results archived for historical trouble-shooting comparison/baselining

Benefits:

Single personnel operation for turn-up multi-site tests & improve speed of testing

Provide documentation to inspire customer confidence and traceability

Provide a consistent procedure to get the service running quickly and efficiently

Service Burn-in

Perform the service burn-in for 24 to 72 hours before the Cell is turned-up

Understand how the service performs over a period of time (over 24-72 hrs) rather than a single

point during the day of turn-up

KPIs to be monitored - (frame loss, frame delay, frame delay variation)

All test results stored into BrixWorx database for SLA compliance tracking and reporting

Information also used for Birth Certificate creation in conjunction with turn-up results

Results archived for historical trouble-shooting comparison/baselining

Service Assurance and Troubleshooting with TWAMP Test

Two-way Active Measurement Protocol (TWAMP)Tests:

TWAMP Sender Test

TWAMP Reflector TestBenefits:

Automated TWAMP tests across the IP network

Scalable and flexible systemthousands of tests per hour

Spatial and temporal composition of metrics for end-to-end view of network performance

Sender computers round-trip IP KPIs (delay, packet loss, and duplicates received)

Sender also computes one-way IP KPIs (delay, delay variation, and packet loss)
