ATM LOOPBACK
In order to isolate the ATM interface problems, you can use ATM OAM loopback cells to verify connectivity between VP/VC endpoints, as well as segment endpoints within the VP/VC.
ATM uses F4 and F5 cell flows as follows:
◆F4: used in VPs
◆F5: used in VCs
An ATM connection consists of a group of points. This OAM implementation provides management for the following points:
◆Connection endpoint: the end of a VP/VC connection where the ATM cell are terminated
◆Segment endpoint: the end of a connection segment
