Delay measurement can be used to measure frame delay and frame

delay variation between MEPs.

A local MEP must be configured for the same MA before you can use

this command.

If a MEP is enabled to generate frames with delay measurement (DM)

information, it periodically sends DM frames to its peer MEP in the same

MA., and expects to receive DM frames back from it.

Frame delay measurement can be made only for two-way

measurements, where the MEP transmits a frame with DM request

information with the TxTimeStampf (Timestamp at the time of sending

a frame with DM request information), and the receiving MEP responds

with a frame with DM reply information with TxTimeStampf copied from

the DM request information, RxTimeStampf (Timestamp at the time of

receiving a frame with DM request information), and TxTimeStampb

(Timestamp at the time of transmitting a frame with DM reply

information):
Frame Delay = (RxTimeStampb-TxTimeStampf)-(TxTimeStampb-

RxTimeStampf)

The MEP can also make two-way frame delay variation measurements

based on its ability to calculate the difference between two subsequent

two-way frame delay measurements.

Sending 5 Ethernet CFM delay measurement message, timeout is 5 sec.

Sequence Delay Time (ms.) Delay Variation (ms.)

-------- ---------------- ---------------------

1 < 10 0

2 < 10 0

3 < 10 0

4 40 40

5 < 10 40

Success rate is 100% (5/5), delay time min/avg/max=0/8/40 ms.

Average frame delay variation is 16 ms.
