ETHERNET/TMPLS HYBRID NETWORK OPERATION ADMINISTRATION AND MAINTENANCE FRAME CREATION METHOD

摘要

A method for creating an Operation Administration and Maintenance frame in an Ethernet/Transport Multi-Protocol Label Switch hybrid network. The method includes mapping values in an Ethernet Operation Administration and Maintenance data field in a protocol data unit (PDU) in a first Ethernet Operation Administration and Maintenance frame (Ethernet 0AM into a Transport Multi-Protocol Label Switch Operation Administration and Maintenance data field in PDU in a first Transport Multi-Protocol Label Switch Operation Administration and Maintenance (TMPLS 0AM and mapping values in first control parameter fields in the first Ethernet 0AM e into second control parameter fields in the first TMPLS OAM frame. The PDU in the first TMPLS OAM frame includes added extra fields as necessary, and control parameter fields comprise pre-selected default information and routing information mapped from values stored in a memory.
