Ethernet OAM Software - IEEE 802.3ah/Clause 57
NComm’s 802.3ah/Clause 57 software provides a complete source code solution for those developers needing to incorporate standard compliant 802.3ah/Clause 57 capabilites into their products. The 802.3ah/Clause 57 source code is delivered in ANSI C. Operation under the Linux operating system as well as other operating systems is provided. The 802.3ah/Clause 57 software has been fully qualified in conformance testing, and NComm will assist in any additional conformance issues that might come up during full product homologation testing.
The architecture of the Ethernet OA&M software module is shown below. The module will implement the Ethernet OA&M requirements of 802.3ah/Clause 57 while allow your application to integrate the feature in to your system.
| Ethernet Link OAM | Standard: IEEE 802.3ah - Clause 57 |
| Applies to a single Data Link | IEEE 802.3ah incorporates three important tools that allow the monitoring of Data Link health and fault resolution in the case of failure between the DTE and the network. |
|
802.3ah OAM operation does not extend beyond the Data Link in question. Discovery - Provides a means of the discovery of peer nodes within the Data Link Remote Failure Indication - Provides a means to inform a peer that the receive path of the local DTE is not functional
