The IESG has approved the following document: - 'RFC6374 UDP Return Path' (draft-ietf-mpls-rfc6374-udp-return-path-05.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Multiprotocol Label Switching Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Alvaro Retana, Alia Atlas and Deborah Brungard. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mpls-rfc6374-udp-return-path/ Technical Summary The MPLS Packet Loss and Delay Measurement protocol is defined in RFC6374. RFC 6374 defines how to send and process MPLS performance management responses for Loss and Delay measurement. This document specifies the procedure to be used when an out of band UDP/IP return path is available. Working Group Summary There were nothing exceptional in the working group process other than the WG Chairs had to ask twice during the wglc to get any response at all. I guess that this is one of those document that is of very strong interest for a small group within the working group, while the rest of the working understands that it need to be done, being happy that someone takes on the work. Document Quality We currently are aware of prototyping, as well as plans to any implement this specification, we have an ongoing implementation poll and the write-up will be updated if and when we get further news. There should be implementations since we made early allocations based on upcoming testing. No special purpose reviews has been necessary. The document is well reviewed in mpls-rt and at working adoption poll, even though the wglc gave nothing but supportive comments. Personnel Loa Andersson is the Document Shepherd. Deborah Brungard is the Responsible Area Director
