ATTEST Carrier Ethernet OAM test suites provide Conformance and Functional verification for Service OAM (ITU-T Y.1731), CFM (IEEE 802.1ag) and Link OAM (EFM-OAM - IEEE 802.3ah).




Example of a network showing Ethernet OAM protocols


ATTEST Carrier Ethernet Bridging Conformance Test Suite for Provider Bridges (802.1AD) provide a set of tests for conformance verification, thereby ensuring better interoperability with other vendor implementations.

ATTEST Carrier Ethernet Services Conformance Test Suites support verification for Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) for Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) implementation in Carrier Ethernet access and core devices and Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) implementation in Provider Edge and Provider devices respectively. Veryx ATTEST-XP MPLS Layer 2 VPN Test suite performs functional verification of MPLS L2VPN implementations in Ethernet Routers deployed in Metro Ethernets and Enterprises networks.




Example of Carrier Ethernet network deployment with EPL services


ATTEST MEF test suites support MEF 9, 14 and 21. ATTEST-CTS MEF 9 Test Suite verifies that the devices in the network are able to deliver Ethernet services, such as E-Line and E-LAN services. Veryx ATTEST MEF 14 Test Suite verifies that the devices in the network are able to deliver Ethernet services as per the specified Service Performance and Bandwidth Profile Service Attributes in a Service Level Specification. Veryx ATTEST MEF 21 Test Suite verifies the Link OAM features in Carrier Ethernet devices as defined in MEF 21 Abstract Test Suite.




Example Ring Protection in Mobile backhaul network


Veryx ATTEST ERPS Test Suite provides conformance, functional and performance verification of Ethernet ring protection switching (ITU-T G.8032) in Mobile backhaul networks implemented over cable, microwave and native Ethernet networks.

Veryx ATTEST Functional and Conformance Test Suites for Layer 2 bridging features such as STP, LACP, RSTP, MSTP, VLAN and IGMP Snooping are also available separately.
