Restrictions for Ethernet Frame Delay Measurement
The following restrictions apply to the Ethernet frame delay measurement feature:
•
Ethernet frame delay measurements can be triggered only when the distributed periodic
packet management daemon (ppm) is enabled. To enable distributed ppm, include
the delegate-server-processing CLI statement at the [edit protocols oam ethernet
connectivity-fault-management performance-monitoring] hierarchy. For more
information about this limitation, see Guidelines for Configuring Routers to Support an
ETH-DM Session and Ensuring That Distributed ppm Is Not Disabled.
•
You can monitor only one session at a time to the same remote MEP or MAC address.
For more information about starting an ETH-DM session, see Starting an ETH-DM
Session.
•
ETH-DM statistics are collected at only one of the two peer routers in the ETH-DM
session. For a one-way ETH-DM session, you can display frame ETH-DM statistics at
the receiver MEP only, using ETH-DM-specific show commands. For a two-way ETH-DM
session, you can display frame delay statistics at the initiator MEP only, using the same
ETH-DM-specific show commands. For more information, see Managing ETH-DM
Statistics and ETH-DM Frame Counts.
•
ETH-DM frame counts are collected at both MEPs and are stored in the respective
CFM databases.
•
Accuracy of frame delay statistics is compromised when the system is changing (such
as from reconfiguration). We recommend performing Ethernet frame delay
measurements on a stable system.
•
One-way Ethernet frame delay measurement is not supported.
