Monitoring latency, jitter and availability is key in backhaul networks, but operators using Y.1731 to perform these measurements have run into
technical challenges with scalability and precision. This month we draw on
Accedian Networks’ First-hand experience working with leading carriers
during field trials and large scale backhaul network deployments. The top
sticking points, lessons learned and key requirements for successfully
deploying Y.1731 in a production environment are summarized in our video
feature.
We publish our online newsletter in an interactive blog format so you can discuss each issue with other telecom professionals. Get notified when EtherNEWS is updated by subscribing to our RSS feed or Twitter feeds, or join our fans at Accedian.com/Facebook.
We hope you enjoy the newsletter and other selected technology and insight articles on our blog, updated several times each week.

There are two obvious reasons why LTE networks will require both lower latency and higher bandwidth backhaul: LTE simply is the lowest latency air interface and features bandwidth that cannot be supported by legacy backhaul protocols.
