A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 6371 Title: Operations, Administration, and Maintenance Framework for MPLS-Based Transport Networks Author: I. Busi, Ed., D. Allan, Ed. Status: Informational Stream: IETF Date: September 2011 Mailbox: Italo.Busi@alcatel-lucent.com, david.i.allan@ericsson.com Pages: 62 Characters: 142857 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-mpls-tp-oam-framework-11.txt URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6371.txt The Transport Profile of Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS-TP) is a packet-based transport technology based on the MPLS Traffic Engineering (MPLS-TE) and pseudowire (PW) data-plane architectures. This document describes a framework to support a comprehensive set of Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) procedures that fulfill the MPLS-TP OAM requirements for fault, performance, and protection-switching management and that do not rely on the presence of a control plane. This document is a product of a joint Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) / International Telecommunications Union Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) effort to include an MPLS Transport Profile within the IETF MPLS and Pseudowire Emulation Edge-to-Edge (PWE3) architectures to support the capabilities and functionalities of a packet transport network as defined by the ITU-T. This document is not an Internet Standards Track specification; it is published for informational purposes. This document is a product of the Multiprotocol Label Switching Working Group of the IETF.
