Ethernet is well known for its ease of use and cost effectiveness and is rapidly gaining acceptance in Carrier networks. While traditional SONET/SDH based technology in carrier networks is replaced by Ethernet, suitable services OAM support (ITU-Y 1731 and IEEE 802.1ag) is need to be supported in the network. Also, in the core of the network, MPLS being the predominant technology is being positioned as the basis for Provider Backbone Transport (PBT) technology, in addition to IEEE standards relating to Provider Bridges and Provider Backbone Bridges. ATTEST test solutions cover the full breadth of Carrier Ethernet network technologies:
Veryx ATTEST MEF 9 provides equipment manufacturers and service providers an easy and efficient solution to verify MEF 9 conformance and offer Ethernet Services in accordance to Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF) requirements.
ATTEST-CTS MEF 9 test solution can be used to verify that the devices in the network are able to deliver Ethernet services, such as E-Line and E-LAN services. ATTEST enables significant speeding up of testing cycles and reduces the "time-to-market".
For service providers, ATTEST-CTS MEF 9 provides a significant benefit, since it can perform these tests at geographically separate locations for verifying Field deployments, using a set of remote systems.
Usage of ATTEST-CTS MEF 9 for lab testing
Usage of ATTEST-CTS MEF 9 for field testing
ATTEST MEF 9 tests the readiness of a Metro Ethernet Network to deliver various service level specifications (SLSs). It verifies Ethernet services for the EVC and UNI Attributes as specified by MEF 9 Abstract Test suite, benefiting equipment vendors, service providers and subscribers in the following ways:
-
Equipment vendors can be assured that their products can be used in the Metro Ethernet Network (MEN) to allow Subscribers to successfully access Ethernet Services Service Providers can determine the ability of the MEN to offer Ethernet Services conformant to MEF specifications Subscribers are ensured the successful integration of Ethernet Services into their overall networking infrastructures
ATTEST-CTS MEF 9 test suite supports:
- Ethernet Private Line (EPL) Service
- Verify EVC or UNI Attribute
- Verify the EPL related EVC Service attributes and the UNI service attributes
