EFM Link OAM: Discovery Carrier Network Discovery Message (Active) 80.1ad Bridge Discovery Response (Passive) TPMR (CLE) CPE OAM Discovery protocol runs at start-up Exchanges each end s OAM capabilities: OAMPDU size Uni-directional Event notifications signalling Loopback Vendor / equipment / Variables response version identifiers Geneva, 31 May 01 June 007
EFM Link OAM: Loopback Carrier Network Test Pattern 80.1ad Bridge TPMR (CLE) CPE Intrusive loopback of all data frames Loopback occurs within OAM sublayer on the Port No DA/SA swap at loopback point PB receiving OAM sublayer discards all data frames OAMPDUs can still be sent over the link during test Event Notifications and critical Link Events Geneva, 31 May 01 June 007
