1. About the FrameSaver SLV

FrameSaver SLM Feature Set

A FrameSaver SLV unit with the advanced SLM feature set provides the following features in addition to those provided with the basic set:

TruePutTechnology. Using Frame Delivery Ratios (FDR) and Data Delivery Ratios (DDR), throughput (within and above CIR, as well as between CIR and EIR, and above EIR) can be measured precisely, eliminating inaccuracies due to averaging.

Intelligent Service Level Verification. Provides accurate throughput, latency, and availability measurements to determine network performance and whether service level agreements (SLAs) are being met, along with SLA reporting.

RMON Alarms and Configurable Alarm Thresholds. Provides the ability to change SLA parameter and RMON alarm thresholds via the OpenLane system to correct them in real-time, before the SLA is violated.

Multiplexed Customer PVCs. Provides a method of multiplexing customer management data and user data with network management data transparently over a single PVC when FrameSaver devices are at each end of the circuit.

FTP User History Poller. Provides a bulk collector using FTP through the OpenLane system that generates a file for data at the time that data is uploaded using FTP.

Network User History Synchronization. Allows correlation of RMON2 User History statistics among all SLV devices in a network. Using a central clock, called the network reference time, all SLV device user history statistics are synchronized across the network, further enhancing the accuracy of

TOpenLane SLV reports.

RMON-Based User History Statistics Gathering. Provides everything needed to monitor network service levels, plus throughput with accurate data delivery, network latency, and LMI and PVC availability. Continuous roundtrip latency testing and reporting, as well as CIR to transmitted and received data performance statistics, are included.

In addition, port bursting statistics are kept for all frame relay links for accurate calculation of utilization.
