METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING THE CONTINUITY CHECK OF THE ETHERNAT LINKS AND THE MAINTENANCE TERMINAL THEREOF

摘要

A method, system and maintenance point is provided to control the continuity check for the Ethernet links. The method includes: starting to send a continuity check message carrying exit check information to a sink end maintenance point of the link when a source end maintenance point of the link receives a deactivation indication of the continuity check; returning an exit response message to the source end maintenance point and stopping the continuity check when the sink end maintenance point receives the continuity check message carrying the exit check information; stopping sending the continuity check message carrying the exit check information and exiting the continuity check when the source end maintenance point receives the exit response message. The method solves the problem that the continuity check loss alert can not be eliminated in time even if the network failure has been eliminated if the deactivation indication is sent during the network failure in the existing procedure of continuity check.
