Features Summary
The FrameSaver SLV product is a single, flexible, and standards-based frame
relay monitoring solution that provides the following features:
H
Intelligent Service Level Verification. Provides accurate throughput,
latency, and availability measurements to determine network performance
and whether service level agreements (SLAs) are being met, along with SLA
reporting. SLA parameter thresholds can be configured to provide proactive
notification of a developing network problem.
H
Frame Relay Aware. Supports diagnostic and network management features
over the frame relay network using the Annex-A, Annex-D, and Standard UNI
(User Network Interface) LMI management protocol. The unit’s frame relay
capability also supports:
— Inband management channels over the frame relay network using
dedicated PVCs.
— Unique nondisruptive diagnostics.
— CIR monitoring on a PVC basis.
— Multiple PVCs on an interface.
— Multiplexing management PVCs with user data PVCs.
— Multiplexing multiple PVCs going to the same location onto a single
network PVC.
H
TruePut
t
Technology. Using Frame Delivery Ratios (FDR) and Data
Delivery Ratios (DDR), throughput (both within and above CIR) can be
measured precisely, eliminating inaccuracies due to averaging. These ratios
are available through OpenLane 5’s SLM reports.
H
Auto-Configuration. Provides the following automatic configuration features:
— Frame Relay Discovery – For automatic discovery of network DLCIs and
configuration of a user data port DLCI, the PVC connection, and a
management PVC, which is multiplexed with user data DLCIs.
— LMI Protocol Discovery – For automatic configuration of the protocol
being used by the network.
— Time Slot Discovery – For automatic discovery of network time slots and
configuration of corresponding time slots in the unit.
H
Extensive Monitoring Capability. Provides status information to monitor
and evaluate the unit’s and network’s operation via the Status menu,
performance statistics, LEDs and control leads.
