As Ethernet services grow in popularity with enterprises, the rapid deployment of Voice-over-Internet Protocol (VoIP) has become a top priority for many service providers. When customers switch from private voice lines to VoIP, they have extremely high expectations: they expect only top-quality voice and data services to run over their Ethernet access lines.

A simple test plan that only validates the basic functionality of an Ethernet link leaves an operator exposed to poor network performance once live customer traffic begins. To avoid such issues, some service providers over-commission bandwidth to ensure SLAs will be met. However, this practice is quite expensive. So how do you comply with all your SLAs without breaking the bank?…by diligently confirming a link's performance before activating a service.
