Abstract
An apparatus (100), a method (200) and a computer program (910) are provided for monitoring a connectivity service in a transport network (170). The apparatus (100) comprises an obtaining unit (120), adapted to request and obtain, for the connectivity service, a Service Definition and Measurement Points, MPs. The Service Definition comprises a set of measurable parameters. The obtaining unit (120) is further adapted to request and obtain a mapping of each of the measurable parameter(s) to Operation Administration and Monitoring function(s), OAM function(s), of the connectivity service. The obtaining unit (120) is further adapted to request and obtain a mapping of the measurable parameter(s) and OAM-function(s) to which tool(s) to use for measuring the measurable parameter(s) of the connectivity service. The apparatus (100) further comprises a measuring unit (130), adapted to perform measurement of the measurable parameter(s) between the Measurement Points using the tool(s).
