Abstract
Networks devices interconnected via link groups may implement micro operations administration and maintenance (micro-OAM) sessions. The micro-OAM sessions may be used to monitor the status of individual links within the link groups at small time scales. The micro-OAM session may be implemented on a non-internet protocol (non-IP) layer. In some cases, independent micro-OAM sessions may be used to monitor different links within a link group.
