9 9Traffic maintenance
Overview
...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Purpose
In this chapter the tasks are described which can be executed to test or monitor an
existing path or to perform maintenance on an existing path. The first section of this
chapter describes the concepts of the maintenance settings for transmission. In this
chapter it is assumed that a path is already created. Chapter 8, “Traffic provisioning”
describes how to create these transmission paths.
Objective
To set up the network element for testing, monitoring, and maintenance of the
transmission paths.
Outcome
The outcome of the maintenance settings can be:
• Traffic that is transported through the network element can be tested and/or
monitored
• If protection is used, a switch can be performed when a path has to be rerouted due
to maintenance activities
• Alarm messages come up if the traffic contains errors
