  7. Quotes about OAM

    1. “ Unlike QoS, end-to-end OAM&P demands standardization, because all the devices in the path need to participate. ”
      In Carrier Ethernet forecast: A mixture of sun and clouds
    2. “ For network equipment manufacturers, it means additional new markets and opportunities, augmenting already hot-selling Carrier Ethernet equipment. For mobile operators, it means a foundation for additional efficiencies and cost-savings through implementation of Mobile-Backhaul-specific Multi-CoS performance objectives, packet and network-based synchronization, resiliency performance, and service OAM fault management. ”
