Ethernet OAM
Ethernet OAM (Operations, Administration, and Maintenance), specified in IEEE 802.3ah-2004 clause 57, is a data
link layer protocol which provides network operators the ability to monitor the health of the network and quickly
determine the location of failing links or fault conditions on point-to-point and emulated point-to-point Ethernet link.
OAMPDUs (OAM Protocol Data Units) contain the control and status information used to monitor, and also test and
troubleshoot OAM-enabled links. OAMPDUs traverse a single link being passed between peer OAM entities, and as a
result, are not forwarded by switches. OAM is a slow protocol, i.e. OAMPDU frame transmission rate is limited to a
maximum of 10 frames per second.
