Abstract
Systems and methods are provided herein for implementing an OAM co-processor that is connected to a switching device. The ingress engine may determine whether the received input data comprises OAM information, and the ingress engine may selectively process or forward the input data to the switching device. If the ingress engine determines that the input data does comprise OAM information, the ingress engine may intercept the input data and process it at the OAM co-processor. This may cause OAM information to be processed utilizing the latest known OAM technology, rather than the potentially dated OAM processing technology of the switching device.
