Applicability Investigation of Ethernet OAM in Wide Area Network

Applicability of linktrace and delay measurement functions of Ethernet OAM is investigated. We successfully demonstrate the monitoring scheme of logical topology and change of LAG configurations with the Ethernet OAM functionalities in the wide area network.
