IP FPM Instance

In this user interface, you can query information about IP flow performance management (IP FPM) instances. Based on the Data Collecting Point (DCP) instance ID in alarm details, you can analyze the faulty IP flow in the IP FPM Instance window.

Navigation Path

In the NE Explorer, choose Configuration > IP FPM Instance from the navigation tree.

NOTE:

IP FPM directly measures service flows between multiple points (MP2MP) to obtain the network packet loss, service delay, and other performance indicators. This measurement method addresses E2E performance statistical issues at the IP layer. It monitors changes on carried services and accurately reflects service condition.

Parameter Description

Parameter	Value	Description
DCP Instance ID	Example: 1	Indicates the DCP instance ID. DCPs are responsible for collecting the measurement data generated by Target Logical Ports (TLPs) and sending the data to Measurement Control Points (MCPs) DCP instance IDs must be unique on NEs.
DCP Instance Description	Character string	Indicates the description of the DCP instance. The description helps users distinguish DCP instances.
MCP ID	Example: 0.0.0.0	Indicates the MCP ID. MCPs are responsible for analyzing the data sent from DCPs and reporting the analysis results. Each IP FPM instance uses only one MCP, but each MCP may serve multiple IP FPM instances. IP routes must exist between the MCP and all DCPs.
UDP Port	Example: 65030	Indicates the UDP port ID.
VRF Name	Character string	Indicates the VRP routing table entry. Each service has its own VRP routing table entry.
TLP ID	Example: 1	Indicates the TLP port. TLPs are observation points distributed at the network edge. They work with logical interfaces (Layer 2 or Layer 3 interfaces) of network devices to collect statistics and produce measurement data. Each IP FPM instance may use multiple TLPs, and each TLP may serve multiple IP FPM instances.
Detection Point Type	in-point, out-point	Indicates the type of the detection point.
Flow Type	forward, backward	Indicates the flow type.
TLP Direction	egress, ingress	Indicates the direction of IP service flows. For incoming service flows, the value is ingress; for outgoing service flows, the value is egress.
TLP Status	Example: valid	Specifies whether the TLP ID is valid.
