Configuring Two-way Frame Delay Measurement in EVPN Networking

In EVPN networking, the clock frequencies between the two ends are not synchronized and CFM is enabled to monitor link connectivity. If the bidirectional delay measurement needs to be performed for a link, two-way frame delay measurement can be configured to monitor the quality of the link.

Context

Two-way frame delay measurement in EVPN 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 an EVPN instance or an AC, configure on-demand two-way frame delay measurement in EVPN networking.

  • To implement continual two-way frame delay measurement for an EVPN instance, configure proactive two-way frame delay measurement in EVPN networking.

Procedure
