Abstract (en)
[origin: WO03096631A1] The invention relates a suggestion how to provide support for equivalent circuit measures in MPLS networks, using simple means. An MPLS OAM functionality is defined, enabling connectivity and performance monitoring of an MPLS link (MPLS label switched path). According to the invention, said MPLS OAM functionality is taken into account when providing support for MPLS equivalent circuit measures. Said approach is easy to use especially when no very quick switching times are required. A simple express protocoll is also defined for quicker switching times.
