Sdp Keepalives - Alcatel-Lucent 7750 SR OS Service Manual

SDP Keepalives

SDP keepalives is a way of actively monitoring the SDP operational state using periodic Alcatel-
Lucent SDP Ping Echo Request and Echo Reply messages. Alcatel-Lucent SDP Ping is a part of
Alcatel-Lucent's suite of Service Diagnostics built on an Alcatel-Lucent service-level OA&M
protocol. When SDP Ping is used in the SDP keepalive application, the SDP Echo Request and
Echo Reply messages are a mechanism for exchanging far-end SDP status.
Configuring SDP keepalives on a given SDP is optional. SDP keepalives for a particular SDP
have the following configurable parameters:
•
•
•
•
•
SDP keepalive Echo Request messages are only sent when the SDP is completely configured and
administratively up and SDP keepalives is administratively up. If the SDP is administratively
down, keepalives for the SDP are disabled.
SDP keepalive Echo Request messages are sent out periodically based on the configured Hello
Time. An optional Message Length for the Echo Request can be configured. If Max Drop Count
Echo Request messages do not receive an Echo Reply, the SDP will immediately be brought
operationally down.
If a keepalive response is received that indicates an error condition, the SDP will immediately be
brought operationally down.
Once a response is received that indicates the error has cleared and the Hold Down Time interval
has expired, the SDP will be eligible to be put into the operationally up state. If no other condition
prevents the operational change, the SDP will enter the operational state.
