SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REDUCING OAM FRAME LEAKAGE IN AN ETHERNET OAM DOMAIN
摘要
A system and method for reducing frame leakage in a VLAN defined in an Ethernet OAM network. Upon receiving a unicast OAM frame at a Maintenance Intermediate Point (MIP) entity, a first database is queried to verify it the frame's destination address (DA) is provided therein. If not, a second database is queried to verify the frame's source address (SA) is associated with a Maintenance End Point (MEP) entity provided therein. If so, OAM domain level information corresponding to the MEP entity is obtained and a multicast MAC address associated with the OAM domain level is determined. The incoming OAM frame's DA is then replaced with the multicast MAC address for forwarding the frame to a set of port addresses restricted to the OAM domain level.
