Configuring Two-way Frame Delay Measurement in VPLS Networking

In VPLS networking, if the clocks of the MEPs at both ends of a link are not synchronized and the requirement for delay measurement is not high, two-way frame delay measurement can be configured for the link.

Context

Two-way frame delay measurement in VPLS networking can be either on-demand or proactive. On-demand two-way frame delay measurement is manually initiated for diagnosis of the frame transmission delay in a limited time. It can be singular or periodic measurement. Proactive two-way frame delay measurement is carried out continuously to permit proactive reporting of frame transmission delays or performance results.
  • To implement singular or periodic two-way frame delay measurement for a PW, configure on-demand two-way frame delay measurement in VPLS networking.

  • To implement continual two-way frame delay measurement for a PW, configure proactive two-way frame delay measurement in VPLS networking.
