The MPLS Transport Profile (MPLS-TP) is a profile of MPLS technology
for use in transport network deployments. That is, MPLS-TP is a set
of functions and features selected from the wider MPLS toolset and
applied in a consistent way to meet the needs and requirements of
operators of packet transport networks.
During the process of development of the profile, additions to the
MPLS toolset have been made to ensure that the tools available met
the requirements. These additions were motivated by MPLS-TP, but form
part of the wider MPLS toolset such that any of them could be used in
any MPLS deployment.
One major set of additions provides enhanced support for Operations,
Administration, and Maintenance (OAM). This enables fault management
and performance monitoring to the level needed in a transport
network. Many solutions and protocol extensions have been proposed to
address these OAM requirements, and this document sets out the
reasons for selecting a single, coherent set of solutions for
standardization.
