ABSTRACT:
The present invention discloses a method for checking MA integrity, including: creating an MEP a; determining, by an MEP c in an MA, whether an MEP b with the same source port information as the MEP a exists in the MA; if there exists an MEP b with the same source port information as the MEP a in the MA, no isolated and unmated MEP exists in the MA; if an MEP b with the same source information as the MEP a does not exist in the MA, an isolated MEP exists in the MA. The present invention also discloses an apparatus for checking an MA integrity and a method and an apparatus for adding an MEP. The present invention enables a user to know whether an MA is integral and ensures MA integrity.
