15 Configuring Ethernet
The rise in the number of Ethernet service instances has resulted in service providers requiring a powerful
and robust set of management tools to maintain Ethernet service networks. Service provider networks are
large and intricate, often comprising of different operators that work together to provide the customers
with end-to-end services. The challenge for the service providers is to provide a highly available conver-
gent network to its customer base. Ethernet OAM (Operations, Administration, and Maintenance) provides
the detection, resiliency, and monitoring capability for end-to-end service guarantee in an Ethernet
network.
