MAINTENANCE POINT FOR CONNECTING FAILURE MANAGEMENT TO PROVIDE DATA-DRIVED CONNECTION FAILURE MANAGEMENT, DISENCAPSULATOR RESPONDER, AND, METHOD FOR PROVIDING DATA-DRIVED CONNECTION FAILURE MANAGEMENT

摘要

system to provide management of data-driven connection failures, in a communication network, maintenance point of connection-failure management, and, method to provide data-driven connection failure management. connection failure management maintenance point, cfm, and method to provide data driven connection failure management, ddcfm, at cfm maintenance points on a communication network. a reflection responder (30), an rfm receiver (40) and a decapsulator responder (50) are implemented at existing cfm maintenance points. the reflection responder (30) selects frames to be reflected, mirrors the selected frames, if a continuation option is established and encapsulates the selected frames with return frame message, rfm, opcode. the derfm receiver (40) sends received rfm frames to an analyzer (42), if addressed to the maintenance point and, otherwise, to a passive multiplexer (33). the decappler responder (50) decapsulates frames from send frame message, sfm, and sends decapsulated frames to the destination specified in each frame.
