Purpose
The Ethernet performance monitoring counters can be categorized according to the
different purposes they are serving.
Types of Ethernet performance monitoring counters
The following types of counters can be distinguished as:
• Counters for basic Ethernet performance monitoring
• Service monitoring:
– Counters for Ethernet service flow performance monitoring
• Traffic management:
– High quality traffic counters for Ethernet network load performance monitoring
– Low quality traffic counters for Ethernet network load performance monitoring
– Counters for Ethernet congestion monitoring
• Counters for Ethernet service route round trip delay measurements
