Patent

CA 2422258

The present invention provides an OAM tool that enables a network operator to trace the path that an Ethernet frame traverses through bridges in a bridge Ethernet LAN. Each bridge within the LAN has a control plane which examines a query message received from a previous node and determines the next node in the route to a destination. The identity of the next node is returned to the source together with a time stamp. The process is repeated until the identity of all bridges in the path has been obtained.
