It simplifies fault detection, cause isolation and customer-impact correlation by maintaining a real-time topology model of the network and the relationship between its various parts. OAM and Service Assurance Agent (SAA) tests help operators identify and isolate potential problems in the network before they affect customers. Network, routing and service topology views allow for real-time assurance, while comprehensive service validation capabilities provide proactive monitoring and operator alerts when specified thresholds are crossed (see Table 3). visualize all network resources and routes traversed by single services or composite services composed of multiple Layer 2 and 3 services. tunnels. The 5620 SAM-A automatically creates all necessary OAM tests for each entity in the group. Tests are automatically updated when objects are added to or removed from a group. Test suites can also be scheduled for each service and compared to configurable parameters, such as jitter, delay and packet-loss metrics, to proactively detect service and network degradation. Rules-based alarm notifications, such as thresholdcrossing alerts, and escalating testfailure alerts further automate service assurance and adherence to SLAs. Root-cause and serviceimpact analysis Integrated fault and service management capabilities mean alarms generated by a network object are propagated to higher-level objects in the managed object hierarchy. This immediate correlation of network events with services lets operators quickly determine which customers are affected by a network event. A service alarm helps determine affected sites and service components. A state cause, such as a binding or MTU mismatch, helps operators quickly identify the root cause of the outage. Performance management A distributed statistics-collection platform for real-time statistics collection provides the information operators need to monitor SLAs. Equipment and interface statisticsreporting system management lets operators proactively set performancemonitoring thresholds and activating counters. Historical and real-time statistics graphing help operators better understand performance issues before they become a problem. Key features View of all physical, routing, MPLS, service infrastructure and service layers A variety of views and icon status indicators help operators quickly diagnose and resolve service-affecting problems, from simple to complex. It uses XML and Java Messaging Service (JMS) to integrate with external applications for fault management, service activation/ provisioning, performance reporting, SLA management, billing, traffic engineering and network planning.
