Ethernet CFM is a service level OAM which is common across all the different transport mechanisms carrying Ethernet services and it is based on Ethernet packets. Hence it is applicable across various transport mechanisms that offer carrier grade Ethernet services.

nGIN (an eInfochips company) offers OEMs and ODMs a portable, scalable and robust implementation of Ethernet CFM based on the IEEE 802.1ag standards specifications.

Ethernet OAM Features:

• Implementation of IEEE 802.1ag with support for CCM, LBM and LTM
• Y.1731 Ethernet OAM for Performance Monitoring features
• Management Layer (CLI/SNMP) for Configuration
• Well defined Interfaces with Network Processor, OS and other modules
• Generic Scalable implementation which can provide Fault Monitoring & Isolation for VLAN, PBN or PBBN networks
• 1:1 Protection Switching Support based on G.8031
• Support for Fast Switching without APS

• Service Level Assurance Manager (SLAM) leverages and builds upon Ethernet OAM, to enable applications to register and receive notifications on Fault/Performance degradation as well as localize the fault/performance degradation, which allows applications to react and converge faster
• SLAM can also be configured to automatically isolate fault or performance degradation point, which then can be used locally or broadcasted in the administrative domain

• Carrier Ethernet Demarcation Switches
• Access PE nodes
• Ethernet Transport Backbone Edge Bridges
  
  
• Ethernet Transport Backbone Core Bridges

• CLI Framework and Wizard for Rapid development of customized CLI
• Leverage in house Test Automation & Management Tool-EzTest to expedite testing cycle
• Experience with leading Network / Packet processors such as Broadcom, Intel, Agere, Bay Micro etc
