VoIP - IP Telephony White Papers

Ethernet Operations, Administration, and Maintenance

Overview As intense competition continues to erode their profitability and demand for new services increases, service providers are accelerating their transition to an IP-based NGN. Service providers require innovative, converged infrastructures to improve delivery of current services and provide a scalable framework for tomorrow's new, bandwidth-intensive services such as IPTV, Video on Demand (VoD), gaming, and Voice over IP (VoIP). Solutions that provide greater network intelligence, integration, and flexibility will not only give carriers short-term relief, but also position them to seize new market opportunities. This paper provides an overview of three important tools for Ethernet Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) provided by Cisco, developed in accordance with the leading industry-standards bodies, and how they support the Cisco IP Next-Generation Network (IP NGN) architecture.
