Driven by their low cost, affordable bandwidth and their scalability, Ethernet services are growing rapidly and are also now reaching critical market mass. Two major factors are still preventing a complete adoption of Carrier Ethernet: service availability and service reliability. Needless to say, the latter strongly influences the former. Indeed, without any means of measuring network performance, Service Level Agreements (SLA) cannot be guaranteed from one end to the other end. Network performance, and SLA verification in particular, is even more important when considering the growth of demand in IP-based services such as Voice over IP (VoIP), Video over IP and Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) which require very low latency (delay) and jitter (delay variation).
