Debugging Auto-Attach Entities (Client And Proxy) Using Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) And Shortest Path Bridging MAC (SPBM) Cloud

摘要

A computer-implemented method, apparatus and software for debugging auto-attach entities is presented. A Continuity Fault Management (CFM) request for a service is received over a network at an Auto-Attach (AA) server. The AA server responds with a first response regarding the AA server on the service. The AA server also responds to the CFM request with a second response regarding any AA clients and any AA proxies on the service.
