Pignataro, Ed., N. Kumar Status: Informational Stream: IETF Date: July 2018 Mailbox: Ruediger.Geib@telekom.de, cfilsfil@cisco.com, cpignata@cisco.com, naikumar@cisco.com Pages: 19 Characters: 45212 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-spring-oam-usecase-10.txt URL: https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc8403 DOI: 10.17487/RFC8403 This document describes features of an MPLS path monitoring system and related use cases. Segment-based routing enables a scalable and simple method to monitor data-plane liveliness of the complete set of paths belonging to a single domain. The MPLS monitoring system adds features to the traditional MPLS ping and Label Switched Path (LSP) trace, in a very complementary way. MPLS topology awareness reduces management and control-plane involvement of Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) measurements while enabling new OAM features.
