Triple-Play Service Deployment

Chapter 2: Triple-Play Service Delivery over Ethernet Networks
Troubleshooting
– Ability to monitor traffic and provide indication of the transport
errors
– Ability to analyze several streams simultaneously and verify the
impact of packet loss and jitter per stream, as well as across
streams. (This can point out whether the source of the problem
is the aggregation network or another source.)
– Ability to provide statistics such as throughput, delay, loss, and
jitter (see Figure 2.8).
Perform End-to-End Connectivity Testing
– Verify physical layer with fiber
characterization tools
– Perform physical layer BERT
Perform RFC2544 Automated Testing
OR
Perform Traffic Emulation and
CoS Testing
– Verify:
- Throughput
- Frame Loss
- Latency
- Packet Jitter
– Ensure SLAs are met

comprehensive and easy-to-interpret reports
on critical service parameters including
throughput and delay.
