Re: IEEE 802.1ag / 802.1x / Y1731

Hi Balaji,
Thanks for sharing this information.
We have decided to use dot1ag utils for 802.1ag. Its a user space
implementation of 802.1ag.

I have a question: is there any development going on for Y.1731 for
linux or freebsd
either as user space application like dot1ag OR network stack
enhancements OR anything else)?

Thanks,
Satendra

Hi
Currently ECFM is supported @ the user space level or rather lot of
companies buy L2 stacks and integrate it with the OS so these stacks have
ECFM support. When we talk about ECFM we need to really find out whether we
are going to talk about suppporting ECFM over Provider Bridging Ports or are
we gonna support ECFM over PBB which is 802.1AH because the place where we
configure ECFM entities play an important role and this could be defined
only if we get to know on what we support ECFM. But as on date Linux kernel
does not have support for ECFM or for Y.1731

Hi Balaji,
You mean CFM OAM 802.1ag can not be supported under linux yet.
I mean there are many routers which are running linux and if they want
to support CFM OAM on
their routers they will have to make changes in Linux networking stack?
Could you please tell about the support of Y.1731 / 802.1ah / 802.1x
in the linux networking
stack ?

Thanks,
Satendra

What I need to do is to use CFM OAM (802.1ag) open source client on
our routers running linux
on them. Open source client to be used is dot1ag utils.
