◆ Frame delay measurement can be made only for two-way
measurements, where the MEP transmits a frame with DM request
information with the TxTimeStampf (Timestamp at the time of sending
a frame with DM request information), and the receiving MEP responds
with a frame with DM reply information with TxTimeStampf copied from
the DM request information, RxTimeStampf (Timestamp at the time of
receiving a frame with DM request information), and TxTimeStampb
(Timestamp at the time of transmitting a frame with DM reply
information):
Frame Delay = (RxTimeStampb-TxTimeStampf)-(TxTimeStampb-
RxTimeStampf)
◆ The MEP can also make two-way frame delay variation measurements
based on its ability to calculate the difference between two subsequent
two-way frame delay measurements.
PARAMETERS
These parameters are displayed:
◆ MD Index – Domain index. (Range: 1-65535)
◆ MA Index – MA identifier. (Range: 1-2147483647)
◆ Source MEP ID – The identifier of a source MEP that will send the
delay-measure message. (Range: 1-8191)
◆ Target
■
MEP ID – The identifier of a remote MEP that is the target of a
delay-measure message. (Range: 1-8191)
■
MAC Address – MAC address of a remote MEP that is the target of
a delay-measure message. This address can be entered in either of
the following formats: xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx or xxxxxxxxxxxx
◆ Count – The number of times to retry sending the message if no
response is received before the specified timeout. (Range: 1-5;
Default: 5)
◆ Packet Size – The size of the delay-measure message.
(Range: 64-1518 bytes; Default: 64 bytes)
◆ Interval – The transmission delay between delay-measure messages.
(Range: 1-5 seconds; Default: 1 second)
◆ Timeout – The timeout to wait for a response. (Range: 1-5 seconds;
Default: 5 seconds)
