Ethernet Connectivity Fault Management (ETH-CFM)
Page 70 7210 SAS-X, R6 OS Services Guide
ETH-CFM capabilities may be deployed in many different Ethernet service architectures. The
Ethernet based SAPs and SDP bindings provide the endpoint on which the management points
may be created. The basic functions can be used in different services, VPLS and Epipe . The ETH-
CFM functionality is also applicable to broadband access networks. Two models of broadband
access are shown below to illustrate how ETH-CFM could be deployed in these cases. (Figure 11
and Figure 12).
