August 1, 2000Frame Relay Service Level Definitions 1 Status Current Draft (draft-ietf-frnetmib-frmrelay- service-02.txt) –Addressed ALL issues from last meeting. –Only 3 issues reported on this draft (to follow).

August 1, 2000Frame Relay Service Level Definitions 2 Resolved Issues Free running counters for Min/Max/Avg have no meaning over time. They were removed. Availability and Data merged into one table. New table prefix is “frsldPvcSmpl”. Add pictures for clarity.

August 1, 2000Frame Relay Service Level Definitions 3 New Issues (1) Replace text for Sec with: The performance of a PVC is monitored by evaluating the half-duplex flow of frames from an ingress point to an egress point. Reference points describe where each of the two measurements are made. Monitoring both of the half-duplex flows that make-up the PVC frame traffic requires a total of four reference points as shown in Figure xxx [Note to editor, label the figures and replace xxx with the figure number from Section ]. A monitoring point that evaluates traffic is restricted to counting frames that pass the reference points hosted locally on the monitoring point. Thus, if the monitoring point is near the ingress point of the flow, it will count the frames entering into the frame relay network. The complete picture of frame loss for the half-duplex flow requires information from the downstream reference point located at another (remote) monitoring point. The local monitoring point MAY be implemented in such way that the information from the downstream monitoring point is moved to the local monitoring point using implementation- specific mechanisms. In this case all information required to calculate frame loss becomes available from the local measurement point. The local measurement point agent is capable of reporting all the objects in the FrsldPvcDataEntry row - the counts for offered frames entering the network and delivered frames exiting the network. Alternatively, the local monitoring point MAY be restricted to counts of frames observed on the local device only. In this case, the objects of the FrsldPvcDataEntry row reporting what happened on the remote device are not available.

August 1, 2000Frame Relay Service Level Definitions 4 New Issues (2) In the examples ( ), clearly identify which device is hosting the MIB rows and what row objects are being used. Add a discussion of how some higher level management system might merge the data into one coherent row.

August 1, 2000Frame Relay Service Level Definitions 5 Next Draft The -03 draft addresses all of these issues as requested. Are we ready for last call with that draft?
