This Month&#8217;s Issue
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&#8217; First-hand experience working with leading carriers
during field trials and large scale backhaul network deployments.  The top
sticking points, lessons learned [...]]]></description>
