Service Demarcation
Service Demarcation Define the boundaries of your network and services with intelligent demarcation between your network and those of your customers and partner carriers. EtherNID ™ and MetroNID ™ packet assurance demarc units establish end-to-end OAM, enable in-service loopback and performance testing, and let you create and assure carrier-grade SLAs.
Layer 1-4 Loopback Testing
Layer 1-4 loopback Testing Establish Layer 1-4 loopbacks from your existing test set, monitoring system or other EtherNID ™ and MetroNID ™ units. Loop traffic by multiple packet-filtering criteria, including VLAN, service level, destination and source MAC / IP addresses without interrupting customer traffic.
In-Service RFC-2544 Testing
In-Service RFC-2544 Testing Perform in-service, in-line RFC-2544 throughput and performance testing without impacting customer traffic. Measure delay, jitter, frame loss and back-to-back efficiency to troubleshoot, provision, and validate Ethernet services and SLAs.
Performance Monitoring
Performance Monitoring Accedian Network’s Performance Assurance Agent (PAA ™) keeps continuous watch over your critical services with one-way delay and jitter measurements, frame loss and availability monitoring. Test up to 100 sites from a single EtherNID or MetroNID demarc unit.
SLA Assurance + Creation
SLA Assurance Creation Establish end-to-end transparent LAN services with EVC service creation functionality and monitor them in real time with the industry’s only SLA-Meter ™. Fully transparent over multi-vendor, multi-carrier, multi-technology networks.
End-to-End OAM Overlay
End-to-End OAM Overlay Take control of your network and services and reduce the cost of deploying and managing your Ethernet & IP services by easily establishing standards-based, end-to-end operations, administration and maintenance (OAM) over your existing networks.
Test Set Support
Test Set Support EtherNID and MetroNID packet assurance demarcation units accept loop-up commands from your existing handheld test sets and leading monitoring systems. Test Ethernet / IP and application performance directly to the customer premise or cell site without waiting for truck-rolls or maintenance windows.
Triple-Play QoS Testing
VoIP QoS Testing Perform end-to-end QoS tests with leading industry-standard algorithms to provision, monitor and troubleshoot VoIP services. Remotely measure MOS, R factor, jitter, latency, availability and VoIP network performance directly to the customer or cell site.
