Continuity Check Protocol

The continuity check protocol is used for fault detection by a MEP within a maintenance association. The MEP periodically sends continuity check multicast messages. The receiving MEPs use the CC messages to build a MEP database of all MEPs in the maintenance association.

The continuity check protocol packets use the ethertype value 0x8902 and the multicast destination MAC address 01:80:c2:00:00:30.
