This growth is continuously driven by the explosion of network traffic from cloud computing, data center services, business services, wholesale exchanges, mobile backhaul expansion, on-demand video, IPTV, and residential broadband services. All of these applications demand shorter time-to-market for new services, end-to-end service performance monitoring, and a more cost-effective, scalable, and resilient infrastructure for data and voice services. MRV’s Pro-Vision is a powerful service provisioning and management solution for rapid deployment of next generation carrier Ethernet and optical transport services. Pro-Vision brings network management to the next level by providing a comprehensive suite of graphical service delivery functions including service creation, service assurance, and service maintenance. It effectively manages MRV’s powerful OptiSwitch® family of carrier Ethernet products and optical transport LamdaDriver® and Fiber Driver® and OptiDriver™ elements. 1 Application Note Datasheet Pro-Vision® Service OAM Performance Monitoring As service provider’s network grows to large-scale deployments, there is trend towards mass adoption of standards for Service Level Agreement (SLA) management. MRV’s Pro-Vision® and OptSwitch® platform provides industry leading standards based Carrier Ethernet Service OAM (SOAM) performance monitoring solution. Pro-Vision enables efficient performance test management, data collection, smart analytics and reporting. It allows granular monitoring and reporting for the following SLA Key Performance Indicators (KPI): 1. 2. 3. 4. Delay Measurement (Frame Delay, Frame Delay Variation) Loss Measurement (Frame Loss) Availability Throughput Service Providers can increase revenues through SLA assurances and reduce operating costs associated with manual network fault monitoring, truck rolls, and labor-intensive performance measurements. SOAM Performance Monitoring Key Benefits Pro-Vision SOAM performance monitoring allows measure Delay Measurements, Frame Loss, Service Availability and set thresholds to validate SLA compliance. User can define per service tests set the Bins profiles and threshold boundaries. Results are accumulated in Bins and Buckets for measurement intervals (15 minutes). At the end of each measurement interval, the OptiSwitch calculates the measurement and increments the counter in the corresponding Bin. The service availability calculation is based on standard Y.1563 and performed by the OptiSwitch firmware providing highly accurate availability results. Scalable and efficient standards based performance monitoring data collection and report generation allows as proof of service delivery and SLA compliance. 2 Application Note Datasheet SOAM DM Detail Report Frame Delay Interval with violation Interval without violation Forward Frame Delay Variation (IFDV) Interval with violation Interval without violation SOAM Performance Monitoring Key Benefits Pro-Vision provides comprehensive and flexible report generation.
