Accedian Networks has unveiled its V-NID suite of application-oriented performance assurance tools, which extends its Ethernet OAM-based performance assurancewith a system that assures end-user experience of specific applications by mimicking them across the network.
The V-NID providesoperators more application-focused insight than traditional OAM solutions can provide.
At the heart of the solution is the V-NID Actuator which sends emulated traffic to V-NID agents located in Accedian’sMetroNID, MetroNODE 10GE, or other network element.
Using a patented, high-accuracy one-way delay measurement technique, the V-NID Actuator can also assure the performance of specific applications without requiring synchronized hardware test points at each end of the connection.
The V-NID Suite also consists of V-NID Manager and VisionAnalyzer.
