EtherSAM (Y.1564) Test Case
ITU-T Y.1564 is the newly introduced standard for turning-up and
troubleshooting carrier Ethernet services. This new methodology is
completely adapted to today’s Ethernet services especially mobile
backhaul and commercial services.
Contrary to other methodologies, EtherSAM supports new multiservice
offerings. It can simulate all types of services that will run on the network
and simultaneously qualify all key SLA parameters for each of these
services. Moreover, it validates the QoS mechanisms provisioned in the
network to prioritize the different service types, resulting in more accurate
validation and much faster deployment and troubleshooting.
Typical EtherSAM (Y.1564) application:
Note: For bi-directional (Dual Test Set) test, see Ethernet EtherSAM (Y.1564) and
RFC 2544 Dual Test Set Test Cases on page 78.
