A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Multiprotocol Label Switching Working Group of the IETF.
Title : OAM Requirements for MPLS Networks
Author(s) : T. Nadeau, et al.
Filename : draft-ietf-mpls-oam-requirements-06.txt
Pages : 15
Date : 2005-7-21
As transport of diverse traffic types such as voice, frame
relay, and ATM over MPLS become more common, the ability to detect,
handle and diagnose control and data plane defects becomes
critical.
Detection and specification of how to handle those defects is not
only important because such defects may not only affect the
fundamental operation of an Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS)
network, but also because they MAY impact service level specification
commitments for customers of that network.
This document describes requirements for user and data
plane operations and management for MPLS.
These requirements have been gathered
from network operators who have extensive experience deploying
MPLS networks, similarly some of these
requirements have appeared in other documents. This draft specifies
Operations and Management requirements for Multi-Protocol Label
Switching, as well as for applications of Multi-Protocol Label
Switching such as pseudowire voice and virtual private network
services. Those interested in specific issues relating to
instrumenting MPLS for Operations
and Management purposes are directed to the Multi-Protocol Label
Switching Architecture specification.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
