Features, such as MPLS operation, administration, and maintenance (OAM), help in tracing issues and problems that are critical to deploying and managing a service. This chapter describes the management and provisioning aspects for Layer 2 and Layer 3 services. As service providers (SP) evolve their networks and services to IP/MPLS, the requirement for OAM capabilities becomes critical to manage these services.
Problem Statement
We have discussed technology and service overviews in the previous chapters; this chapter focuses on the necessary ...
