IP FPM addresses E2E performance measurement on IP networks, which is implemented in a similar way as performance measurement on Ethernet networks. IP FPM offers the following functions:
IP FPM directly measures IP services and monitors service changes online. IP FPM performance statistics serve as a reliable reference for assessing network performance and therefore are useful for fault diagnosis and service statistics. IP FPM can work together with the NMS to visualize service paths, addressing network performance bottlenecks.
