ATM OAM Ping
Last modified: Friday, December 30, 2005
The ATM OAM Ping feature sends an ATM Operation, Administration and Maintenance
(OAM) packet to confirm the connectivity of a specific permanent virtual circuit
(PVC). The status of the PVC is displayed when a response to the OAM packet is
received. The ATM OAM Ping feature allows the network administrator to verify
PVC integrity and facilitates ATM network troubleshooting. [Source:
