Hi everybody, does somebody out there know of a tool to integrate eventually with Openview-NNM, or independent from it, to monitor MPLS/VPNs ? Many tools or suggestions I read about it, are related to inject the Monitoring Network ip address inside the VPNs, and 'bla bla', to be able to 'ping' the CPE sites. I don't think this can be considered as 'VPN monitoring'. In fact that technique lets the Monitoring Station monitor the reachability of the sites from the Monitoring Station, but there is no garantie that those sites are able to reach the other ones (if the MPLS/VPN is a full mesh VPN). To accomplish that, I think the monitoring station needs to monitor the Label Switch Paths (LSPs) for each VPNs. The entity to monitor is 'reachabilty among sites', that is defined in the routers with LSPs, so the Monitoring Tool needs to be MPLS/VPN aware,and be able 'to trace' the LSPs for the single VPNs. Does somebody have knowledge of such tool? some ideas how to accomplish it?
