Continuity Check Messages
Continuity check messages (CCM) are periodic hellos.
Continuity check messages:
• discover MEPs and MIPs within a maintenance domain
• detect loss of connectivity between MEPs
• detect misconfiguration, such as VLAN ID mismatch between MEPs
• to detect unauthorized MEPs in a maintenance domain
CCMs are multicast Ethernet frames sent at regular intervals from each MEP. They have a destination
address based on the MD level (01:80:C2:00:00:3X where X is the MD level of the transmitting MEP from
0 to 7). All MEPs must listen to these multicast MAC addresses and process these messages. MIPs may
optionally process the CCM messages the MEPs originate and construct a MIP CCM database.
