4.6.8 PM Test Results

The test result for each executed test is stored in RAM at the Master for transfer to CV-EMS.
Each Master can store up to 5,000 test results where the oldest results are purged when the
5,000 limit is reached. Each result record is self-contained. Results are stored in the record along
with Profile and circuit identification information of each test. Storing data is essential, as
changes to Profiles or address information in the network changes the way one looks at test
result data. Do not assume that profiles stored in Master NIDs and CV-EMS are identical at all
times and never change.

Each Master stores circuit identity information for both the Master and each Test Address. Circuit
data for both NIDs are passed to CanogaView and stored in the database. They are also used in
reports or for transfer to another system via NBI. Test result data that is forwarded and stored
within the database contains data fields in addition to IP header and control parameters as
detailed below.
