ABSTRACT:
Network and performance monitoring in a link state protocol controlled Ethernet network. A first node receives a network layer monitoring command from a network layer monitoring requestor. The monitoring command is directed to a second node. The first node resolves the network layer monitoring command into one or more Ethernet OAM command(s); The first node sends the Ethernet OAM command(s) to the second node, receives the results of the Ethernet OAM command(s) from the second node; and returns the results of the Ethernet OAM command(s) in the form of a network layer response to the network layer monitoring requestor. Furthermore, network layer monitoring commands may be one or more performance monitoring commands, and the Ethernet OAM commands can include Y.1731 commands. An IP flow can be adjusted between the first node and the second node in response to the network layer response returned to the network layer monitoring requestor.
