all the other MEPs in the same MA. If a MEP fails to receive the CCM within 3.5 sending periods, the link is
regarded as faulty and a corresponding log is generated. When multiple MEPs send CCMs at the same time, the
many-to-many link check is achieved.
22.3.4.2
Loopback
Loopback is responsible for verifying connectivity between a local device and a remote device. To
implement this function, a local MEP sends a loopback message (LBM) to the remote MEP. Depending on whether
the local MEP can receive loopback reply message (LBR) from the remote MEP, the link state between the two can
be verified. LBM and LBR are unicast messages. They are used to verify the connectivity between two points.
22.3.4.3
Linktrace
Linktrace is responsible for identifying the path between the source MEP and the target MEP. This function
is implemented in the following way : the source sends a linktrace message (LTM) to the target MEP. After
receiving the message, the target MEP as well as the MIPs that the LTM passes send back linktrace reply message
(LTR) to the source. Based on the replying messages, the source can identify the path to the target.
22.3.5
Protocols and Standards
The connectivity fault management function is implemented in accordance with IEEE P802.1ag.
