V-SAM
Introduction
VeEX’s V-SAM test suite is fully compliant with ITU-T Y.1564 and
offers an efficient method to qualify and troubleshoot Ethernet
Services. V-SAM addresses some of RFC2544 limitations by
testing multiple services at once and providing simultaneous
measurements of key SLA parameters.
The purpose of the SAM test is to verify that the service is
compliant to its bandwidth profile and service acceptance criteria
and is broken down into two phases:
Phase (1) Service Configuration test. The services running on
the same line are tested one by one to verify the correct service
profile provisioning.
Phase (2) Service Performance test. The services running on the
same line are tested simultaneously over an extended period of
time, to verify network robustness.
This guide will describe the V-SAM setup and configuration for
frame headers and service attributes, including bandwidth and
service acceptance parameters.
