Comprehensive Performance Management
BTI offers comprehensive Performance Monitoring (PM) and alarming across the entire portfolio of client service modules and packetVX™. Performance monitoring, which is available for physical, Layer 1, and Layer 2 attributes (where applicable, based on RMON 2819 Ethernet Statistics), is reviewed in real time or from a historical perspective and provides:
- Quality of Service (QoS) statistics
- Fault isolation with respect to provisioned service section, line, and path
- Automatic protection switching using SONET/SDH or OTN mechanisms
- Upstream fault propagation
PMs are essential to Service Level Adherence (SLA) contracts, allowing operators to consistently monitor a network’s load and performance. The BTI 7000 Series supports the collecting and reporting of statistical information that can be used to assess system performance and network health. The operator can retrieve current and historical performance metrics. Historical PMs (also known as bins) for various entities in the shelf can be stored at 15-minute, 24-hour, and untimed intervals. The data collected in 15-minute bins for the most recent 8 hours, one 24-hour bin, and one untimed bin might be available for retrieval. Configurable alarm thresholds are also available for particular PMs.
