Abstract
Service availability determination systems and methods include determining availability of a packet service in a Maintenance Interval (MI) based on frame loss measurements in short intervals Δt and marking each Δt as available or unavailable based on the frame loss measurements and an associated Frame Loss Ratio (FLR) threshold, wherein each Δt is a High Loss interval (HLI) when exceeding the FLR threshold; utilizing a sliding window of size n, n being an integer, to determine whether the packet service is available or unavailable; and utilizing an extension period after an end of the MI with the sliding window to ensure all Δt's in the MI are marked as available or unavailable.
