CHAPTER 14
ITU-T Y.1731 Performance Monitoring in a
Service Provider Network
ITU-T Y.1731 performance monitoring provides standard-based Ethernet performance monitoring that
encompasses the measurement of Ethernet frame delay, frame-delay variation, and throughput as outlined
in the ITU-T Y.1731 specification and interpreted by the Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF). Service providers
offer service level agreements (SLAs) that describe the level of performance customers can expect for
services. This document describes the Ethernet performance management aspect of SLAs.
