Starting a Two-Way ETH-DM Session

To start a two-way Ethernet frame delay measurement session, enter the monitor ethernet delay-measurement two-way command from operational mode, and specify the peer MEP by its MAC address or by its MEP identifier.

For example:

user@host> monitor ethernet delay-measurement two-way 00:05:85:73:39:4a maintenance-domain md6 maintenance-association ma6 count 10
Two-way ETH-DM request to 00:05:85:73:39:4a, Interface xe-5/0/0.0
DMR received from 00:05:85:73:39:4a Delay: 100 usec Delay variation: 0 usec
DMR received from 00:05:85:73:39:4a Delay: 92 usec  Delay variation: 8 usec
DMR received from 00:05:85:73:39:4a Delay: 92 usec  Delay variation: 0 usec
DMR received from 00:05:85:73:39:4a Delay: 111 usec Delay variation: 19 usec
DMR received from 00:05:85:73:39:4a Delay: 110 usec Delay variation: 1 usec
DMR received from 00:05:85:73:39:4a Delay: 119 usec Delay variation: 9 usec
DMR received from 00:05:85:73:39:4a Delay: 122 usec Delay variation: 3 usec
DMR received from 00:05:85:73:39:4a Delay: 92 usec  Delay variation: 30 usec
DMR received from 00:05:85:73:39:4a Delay: 92 usec  Delay variation: 0 usec
DMR received from 00:05:85:73:39:4a Delay: 108 usec Delay variation: 16 usec

--- Delay measurement statistics ---
Packets transmitted: 10, Valid packets received: 10
Average delay: 103 usec, Average delay variation: 8 usec
Best case delay: 92 usec, Worst case delay: 122 usec

Note: If you attempt to monitor delays to a nonexistent MAC address, you must type Ctrl + C to explicitly quit the monitor ethernet delay-measurement command and return to the CLI command prompt.
