Module: CM-SA-MIB

OID (symbolic): CM-SA-MIB::esaProbeProtocol

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.2544.1.12.8.1.4.1.6

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: EsaProbeProtocol

Access: read-create

Description: Protocol to be used in ESA Probe messages. 'icmpTimestamp', 'icmpEcho', 'udpEcho' protocols support layer-3 ethernet service assurance. If the remote reflector is an ADVA equipment based on CM family of products, one-way loss measurement, one-way delay measurement, round-trip delay measurement and one-way jitter measurements are computed. Else, only round-trip delay measurements are applicable. 'y1731' protocol can be used for layer-2 ethernet service assurance. One-way loss measurement, one-way and round-trip delay measurement, and one-way jitter measurements are available for this protocol. 'y1731-slm-slr' protocol can be used for layer-2 ethernet service assurance using Synthetic Loss Measurement messages. One-way loss measurement, one-way and round-trip delay measurement, and one-way jitter measurements are available for this protocol.

What is esaProbeProtocol?

This read-create EsaProbeProtocol specifies the protocol used in ESA Probe messages; icmpTimestamp, icmpEcho, and udpEcho support Layer-3 Ethernet service assurance, and against an ADVA CM-family reflector they yield one-way loss, one-way delay, round-trip delay, and one-way jitter measurements, whereas against other equipment only round-trip delay is available. It determines both what kind of probe traffic is sent and which quality metrics can actually be computed, depending on the far-end equipment. For example, choosing icmpEcho against a non-ADVA far-end router limits the probe to round-trip delay only, whereas the same protocol against another ADVA CM device would also yield one-way loss and jitter measurements.
