AAC Service Data Module (SDM) Supports ATM Managed Services

The Service Data Module for the AAC acts

as a Visual Networks® Analysis Service Element (ASE). Specifically designed to support NxT1/E1 IMA or DS3/E3 ATM networks, it monitors user-specified ATM ports and circuits, and communicates service performance data and events to Visual UpTime®.

Kentrox and Visual Networks enable service providers to introduce WAN Performance Management Services based on industry-proven hardware and software solutions. Service providers can offer customers a variety of new managed service options and a higher degree of flexibility for hybrid ATM/Frame Relay networks.

SLA Monitoring

The Service Data Module for the AAC can be configured to supply Frame Relay Service Level Agreement (SLA) measurements to Kentrox ServicePoint™ and FrameVision™ devices in ATM and Frame Relay mixed networks. The AAC responds to Frame PING messages (FPING) sent by ServicePoint and FrameVision devices delivering the following:

•Round-trip Delay

•End-to-end Delay

•Frame Delivery Ratio

•Data Delivery Ratio

•Frames Dropped, Received and Transmitted
