What are the pertinent engineering limits, such as maximum network elements, on the MEM platform?
A range of server options are available to support various size networks. A single MEM server can support up to 250 MERS 8600 nodes using the V890 series. Smaller end servers can support up to 25 nodes utilizing a SUN V240 server. All nodes may be accessed from a single management location. Explain how MEM can be used to measure against and report on Service Level Agreements. MEM, in combination with Nortel network elements, allows for the creation of performance monitors based on the ITU Y.1731 standard. This allows monitoring up to 8 classes of service per endpoint for frame delay, and frame delay variation. For services using PBT trunks, performance monitors can be added to monitor the frame loss, frame delay, and frame delay variation of the PBT trunk. Thresholds can also be set on these parameters so that if they are exceeded, events will be generated. The stats of these performance monitors can be collected using SNMP MIBs and consolidated to create monthly SLA reports via the pr
