Continuity Check Messages

Continuity Check Messages (CCM) are periodic hellos used to:
• discover MEPs and MIPs within a maintenance domain
• detect loss of connectivity between MEPs
• detect misconfiguration, such as VLAN ID mismatch between MEPs
• to detect unauthorized MEPs in a maintenance domain
Continuity Check Messages (CCM) are multicast Ethernet frames sent at regular intervals from each MEP .
They have a destination address based on the MD level (01:80:C2:00:00:3X where X is the MD level of
the transmitting MEP from 0 to 7). All MEPs must listen to these multicast MAC addresses and process
these messages. MIPs may optionally processes the CCM messages originated by MEPs and construct a
MIP CCM database.
