ITU-T Y.1731 performance monitoring provides standards-based Ethernet performance monitoring that encompasses the measurement of Ethernet frame delay, frame delay variation, and frame loss and throughput as outlined in the ITU-T Y-1731 specification and interpreted by the Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF). Service providers offer service-level agreements (SLAs) that describe the level of performance customers can expect for services. This document describes the Ethernet performance management aspect of SLAs.

Would love to see this

I would really like to see this feature.

This + SNMP Traps + The Dude would be amazing.

It would allow you to pinpoint the cause of outages, you could easily tell if the problem was routing or the actual circuit.
You could also use SNMP to measure jitter/delay on the link to ensure SLA targets are met.

It's all about providing carrier class services and reliability so we can stop playing in the sandbox and compete with the big guys.

*bump*

I second this OAM stats would be great!

+1 to this

+1 again

One step closer to Carrier Ethernet

Here's a great video from Ciena explaining different parts of carrier Ethernet and why you want it.

+1 for this and IP-SLA
