Abstract: A solution for convergence for connectivity fault management includes, at a device having a network interface, maintaining a continuity state. The continuity state is associated with a Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) Maintenance Association (MA) comprising multiple Maintenance End Points (MEPs) including a first MEP associated with the device. The maintaining includes setting the state to a value indicating continuity of the MA if a converged notification is received from the first MEP. The maintaining also includes setting the state value to a value indicating loss of continuity of the MA if a predetermined number of echo packets sent by the device towards the MEPs other than the first MEP are not received by the device within a predetermined time period.
