Service Ping

Service (SVC) ping is initiated from a 7705 SAR router to verify round-trip connectivity and delay to the far end of the service. Service ping applies to GRE, IP, and MPLS tunnels and tests the following from edge-to-edge:

• tunnel connectivity

• VC label mapping verification

• service existence

• service provisioned parameter verification

• round-trip path verification

• service dynamic configuration verification

  Note:

  By default, service ping uses GRE encapsulation.
