agent information 

•  Ethernet services support per IEEE 

802.1ad Provider Bridge 
¬ Transparent LAN Services with Service 

VLAN (SVLAN) and Customer VLAN 
(CVLAN) concept

(NNI) and user network interface (UNI) 
services 

¬ Service Access Point (SAP) profile 

identification

Fault Management (L2 ping and link trace) 

•  Ethernet OAM compliant with IEEE 

802.3ah 

•  ITU-T G.8032 Ethernet Ring Protection 

designed for loop protection and fast 
convergence times (sub 50 ms) in ring 
topologies 

•  Private VLAN feature for user traffic 

segregation 

•  Service Assurance Agent (SAA) for 

proactively measuring network health, 
reliability and performance. Four SAA 
tests including L2-MAC, IP, ETH-LB 
and ETH-DMM depending on network 
requirements  

•  Customer provider edge (CPE) test head 

traffic generator and analyzer tool used 
in the metro Ethernet network to validate 
customer Service Level Agreements (SLAs) 

•  IPMVLAN for optimized multicast 

replication at the edge, saving network 
core resources 

•  Layer-2 Multicast VLAN Replication (MVR): 

Allows users from different multicast 
VLANs to subscribe to a multicast group 
from an upstream trunk interface
