14:10 “Connectivity Fault Management (CFM)”, Robert Stoy - DFN [PDF]
Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) is a standardised framework that addresses performance monitoring and troubleshooting challenges on Layer-2 end-to-end services, which consist of Layer-2 segments provided by different Layer-2 service providers. The main challenge is the detection of performance degradation and circuit interrupts together with cause localisation using functions directly on Layer-2. Additionally there is the need for alarming, triggering of consequent actions and support for L2 path analysis from end systems. This talk presents first steps, basics on deployment scenarios, use case examples, concrete use cases, config examples and first results from from a small physical test, internal trial at DFN.
