Example for Configuring Two-Way Frame Delay Measurement in VLL Networking

This section provides an example showing how to configure two-way frame delay measurement in VLL networking.

Networking Requirements

With the increasing popularization and wide application of the Internet, various value-added services such as Internet Protocol television (IPTV), video conferencing, and Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services are widely deployed. Link connectivity and network performance determine the quality of services (QoS) on bearer networks. Therefore, performance monitoring is especially important for service transmission channels.

As shown in Figure 1, connectivity fault management (CFM) is configured between each customer edge (CE) and provider edge (PE) and between PEs. To provide high-quality video services, providers hope to monitor the bidirectional delay over mobile bearer links in real time, while monitoring link connectivity. Monitoring the bidirectional delay over mobile bearer links allows the providers to respond quickly to video service quality deterioration.

Interfaces 1 through 2 in this example are GE 0/1/1, GE 0/1/2 respectively.


Configuration Roadmap

The configuration roadmap is as follows:
  1. Configure on-demand two-way frame delay measurement for a PW between the PEs to periodically collect statistics about the delay in frame transmission.

  2. Configure proactive two-way frame delay measurement for a PW between the PEs to continuously collect statistics about the delay in frame transmission.

Data Preparation

To complete the configuration, you need the following data:

  • ID of an L2VC of a VLL between PE1 and PE2.

  • Names of the maintenance domain (MD) and maintenance association (MA) between PE1 and PE2 and between CE1 and PE1.

  • ID of an L2VC of a VLL between PE1 and PE2.

  • Interval at which delay measurement messages (DMMs) are sent and the number of times when on-demand DMMs are sent.

Procedure

  1. Configure on-demand two-way frame delay measurement for a PW between PEs.

    1. Configure a VLL connection.

      Configure a VLL connection between PE1 and PE2. The configuration details are not provided here. For details, see the chapter "VLL Configuration" in the HUAWEI NetEngine 8000 F Series Router Configuration Guide - VPN or configuration files in this configuration example.

      After completing the configuration, run the display mpls l2vc command on each PE to view information about the VC and AC.
