This application note describes how to set up Y.1564 in your Skylight performance element network to perform end-to-end Ethernet service activation tests.
The Accedian implementation of Y.1564 supports the following types of tests:
- Layer-2 two-way testing
- Layer-3 two-way testing
- Layer-2 one-way testing
- Layer-3 one-way testing
The steps required to set up Y.1564 are:
- Set up a Y.1564 test or set up one or more Y.1564 services: See Setting Up a Y.1564 Test/service
Before running a one-way test, you must also set up the SAT protocol so that devices performing the one-way Y.1564 test communicate. See:
Once these setup steps are complete, you can run a test and view the results.
Y.1564 Testing
Run a Y.1564 test to determine the conformance of a network section or a specific device to a service level agreement (SLA) and to meet Ethernet standards. You can define a total of 16 tests.
When setting up the test, set the information relative to the remote peer (Peer settings) and the test packet contents. To view the complete list of elements that can be configured for the test, refer to the table Y.1564 Test Configuration (SAT ▶ Y.1564 ▶ Configuration) below.
Refer also to the ITU-T Y.1564 standard for the definition of parameters and tests.

Y.1564 Test Configuration (SAT ▶ Y.1564 ▶ Configuration)
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
Name Test name | Name of the Y.1564 test. |
Description Test Description | A description to identify the Y.1564 test and its characteristic. |
Outgoing port | Port on which to send the flow(s). |
Y.1564 Test Configuration (SAT ▶ Y.1564 ▶ Configuration)
Test to Run
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
Configuration step duration (seconds) | Duration (in seconds) of each step during the configuration test. |
Enable configuration test | Enabling the configuration test allows use of the policing test and step test under each service (traffic flow) configured. It allows you to run successive tests at rates of 25% CIR, 50% CIR, 75% CIR, and 100% of CIR, CIR+EIR, and Policing. For Policing: If EIR < 20 % x CIR, Policing Rate = (125 % x CIR) + EIR If EIR ≥ 20 % x CIR, Policing Rate = CIR + (125 % x EIR) |
Enable parallel configuration | Enable or disable the Parallel Service Configuration test. Enable: All enabled services (traffic flows) are run simultaneously. Disable: All enabled services (traffic flows) are run sequentially. |
Performance test duration (minutes) | Duration (in minutes) of the performance test. Range: 1 to 1,440 minutes. |
Enable performance test | Enable or disable the performance test. You must configure at least one service when you enable performance test. The performance test is run at 100% CIR. |
Delay Measurement Type | May be one-way delay or two-way delay. One-way delay measurement requires the SAT protocol (SAT ▶ Protocol ▶ Configuration) to be enabled on both devices performing the Y.1564 test. |
Device time SYNC mandatory | When this option is checked, the tests will be performed only if both devices performing the Y.1564 test are synchronized using one of the supported timing mechanisms (NTP or PTP). When this option is unchecked, the tests will be performed, but valid results will be displayed only if both devices performing the Y.1564 test are synchronized using one of the supported timing mechanisms (NTP or PTP). This type of test may be useful to test applications where delay is not important, but other parameters, such as CIR or EIR, are important. For one-way delay measurement only. |

Configuration Examples
This section contains the following examples:
- Example 1: Two-Way Layer-2 Test with Multi-CoS EVC
- Example 2: Two-Way Layer-3 Test with Bandwidth Profiles per EVC
- Example 3: One-Way Layer-3 Test with Multiple IP Sources/Destinations
Example 1: Two-Way Layer-2 Test with Multi-CoS EVC
The Y.1564 test method is used as an out-of service test for service activation testing. It allows you to test configuration and performance using up to eight flows per test.
In this example, you will use a Y.1564 test with four services to test a Layer-2 point-topoint EVC running four different bandwidth profiles. This is to verify conformance of each CoS profile defined. This example will use the following traffic pattern:
CoS Profile Definition
The test requires two units: a MetroNODE 10GE and a MetroNID. We will set up the Y.1564 test on the MetroNODE 10GE. The MetroNID will receive the Y.1564 test packets and will automatically loop them back to the MetroNODE 10GE. The MetroNODE 10GE will receive the test packets and provide results.
The figure below shows a typical configuration for this scenario.

Example 2: Two-Way Layer-3 Test with Bandwidth Profiles per EVC
In this example, you will use a Y.1564 test with two EVCs and four services per EVC to test two Layer-3 point-to-point EVCs. This test is used to verify conformance of each CoS profile defined. This example will use the following traffic pattern:
CoS Profile Definition
The test requires three units: one MetroNODE 10GE and MetroNID units. We will set up the Y.1564 test on the MetroNODE 10GE. Each remote MetroNID will receive the Y.1564 test packets. We will need to set up a Layer-3 loopback on both remote units to loop the test packets back to the MetroNODE 10GE. The MetroNODE 10GE will receive the test packets and provide result.
The figure below shows a typical configuration for this scenario.
Configure the Loopback for Remote Unit 1
We will first set up an IPv4 filter. This filter will catch the Layer-3 packets coming from the performance element source address and will be used to loop them back.
The steps required to set up the loopback are:
- Define a filter for capturing traffic.
- Create an OAM instance.
- Set up the loopback.
First, define the filter as follows:
Connect to Remote 1 unit.
Go to Traffic ▶ Filters ▶ IPv4 filters.
Click the Add button to add a new filter. This displays the screen shown in the figure below.
Enter the IPv4 filter configuration as shown in the figure above. For the IPv4 source, use the IP address of the interface to which the performance element sends the packets.
Click Apply.
Before enabling a loopback, you must create the OAM instance, upon which the loopback is created.
Next, set up the OAM instance as follows:
Go to OAM ▶ Configuration . This displays a summary of all OAM instances already set up.
Click the Add button to add a new OAM instance. This displays the screen shown in the figure below.
- Enter the information for the OAM instance as shown in the figure above and then click Apply.
Once the OAM instance has been created, you can set up the loopback for this instance using the IPv4 filter you created.
Finally, set up the local loopback as follows:
Go to OAM ▶ Loopback. This displays a summary of all loopbacks set up.
Click the OAM instance Name for the loopback to edit its settings. This displays the screen shown in the figure below.
Enter the loopback information as shown in the figure above. Be sure to select the IPv4 filter created for this loopback.
Click Apply.
Configure the Loopback for Remote Unit 2
Configure the loopback for Remote Unit 2 loopback using the same procedure and settings used for Remote Unit 1.
Configure the IP Address on Each Unit
To run a Layer-3 Y.1564 test, you must also set up the IP address on each of the three units.
First, set up the IP address on the performance element as follows:
- Connect to the performance element.
- Go to System ▶ Configuration ▶ Interface.
- Click the Network interface to edit its settings.
- Enter the interface settings as shown in the figure above and click Apply.
Next, set up the IP address on the Remote Unit 1 as follows:
- Connect to Unit.
- Go to System ▶ Configuration ▶ Interface.
- Click the Add button to add a new interface. This displays the screen shown in the figure below.
- Enter the interface settings as shown in the figure above and click Apply.
We then set up the IP address on Remote Unit 2 using the same settings, except for a new interface name (e.g. NID2) and the IP address of Remote Unit 2 (10.10.10.12).
We can then ping each remote unit from the performance element, to make sure the interfaces are correctly configured:
Connect to the performance element.
Go to System ▶ Maintenance ▶ System Tools.
Enter the IP address of Remote Unit 1 (10.10.10.11) and the timeout and then click the Ping button.
Enter the IP address of Remote Unit 2 (10.10.10.12) and the timeout and then click the Ping button.
Configure the Y.1564 Test
We will set up a Y.1564 test with eight services (test flows), four for each EVC, as defined above.
Note: This configuration is used only to verify the circuit conformance to what was first established. The circuit configuration is not covered in this application note.
Go to SAT ▶ Y.1564 ▶ Configuration.
Click the Add button to add a new test. This displays the screen shown in the figure below.
- Enter the test configuration as shown in the figure above. Use the IP address of the interface to which the performance element sends the packets (e.g. the Interface IP address of remote unit 1). This is a general destination IP address, which you will be able to overwrite for each service.
- Click Apply.
Next, you will set up the Y.1564 services as follows:
- Go to SAT ▶ Y.1564 ▶ Configuration. This displays a summary of all tests set up.
- Click the Name of the test (Test1) to edit its settings.
- Click the Name of a service (e.g. Service_1 ) from the Service List to edit its settings.

Example 3: One-Way Layer-3 Test with Multiple IP
Sources/Destinations
In this example, the units are set up to run a Layer-3 one-way test to eight cell sites simultaneously. This test is used to verify conformance of each CoS profile defined. This example will use the following traffic pattern:
CoS Profile Definition
The test requires nine units: one MetroNODE 10GE and eight MetroNID units. We will set up the MetroNODE 10GE with a different VLAN interface with IP address (source) configured for each cell site. We will also need to set up a corresponding VLAN interface with IP address (destination) on each cell site (MetroNID). A different source UDP port will be used for the test traffic sent to each cell site. This port must be defined in the SAT protocol configuration of each cell site (MetroNID).
The figure below shows a typical configuration for this scenario.
