eMDI in L2VPN Scenarios
On the L2VPN shown in Figure 1, the eMDI detection solution can be deployed on the UPE, SPEs, and NPE so that service packets passing through all of these nodes can be detected in real time for IPTV video quality monitoring and fault locating.
With the eMDI detection solution deployed, the quality indicators (such as packet loss rate, packet disorder rate, and jitter) of real service packets that pass through the UPE, SPEs, and NPE on the L2VPN multicast network can be detected in real time and the detection results can be sent to the NMS on a regular basis. The analysis result of the NMS can be displayed in a trend chart.
When a fault is detected using eMDI on a network node, the detection data on upstream and downstream nodes can be compared to demarcate the faulty network segment. Other methods can be used together to rapidly locate the fault and restore services.
