OAM (Operation, Administration and Maintenance) plays a crucial role in carrier networks. OAM functionality ensures that network operators and service providers can maintain the quality of the services they offer. One of its major tasks is the detection of anomalies in the network before they become a problem. This enables network operators and service providers to deliver services that come up to a predetermined level of quality (SLA: Service Level Agreement). This pa-per is for the most part dedicated to this very issue. First, the current state of affairs with regard to AOM in Ethernet is discussed. Then, the Standards IEEE 802.1ag and ITU-T Y.1731 are discussed with respect to scalability, and proposals for the modification of IEEE 802.1ag are put forward with a view to enhancing functionality in the event of anomalies. The paper concludes with a summary.
