The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Detecting Data Plane Failures in Point-to-Multipoint Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) - Extensions to LSP Ping' (draft-ietf-mpls-p2mp-lsp-ping-18.txt) as a Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Multiprotocol Label Switching Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Stewart Bryant and Adrian Farrel. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mpls-p2mp-lsp-ping/ Technical Summary Mechanisms to detect data plane failures in point-to-point (P2P) LSP are described in RFC 4379 - these mechanisms are known as "LSP Ping". The working group has also documented requirements for P2MP LSP Ping. This document extends the techniques described in RFC 4379 such that they may be applied to P2MP LSPs. This document stresses the reuse of existing LSP Ping mechanisms used for P2P LSPs, and applies them to P2MP MPLS LSPs in order to simplify implementation and network operation. Working Group Summary LSP Ping is one of the key OAM tools developed by the MPLS working, the draft has well reviewed and is strongly supported by the working group. Document Quality The document is well reviewed in all the groups mentioned above. Personnel Ross Callon is the Document Shepherd for this document. Stewart Bryant is the Responsible Area Director. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
