The IESG has approved the following document: - 'MPLS On-demand Connectivity Verification and Route Tracing' (draft-ietf-mpls-tp-on-demand-cv-07.txt) as a Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Multiprotocol Label Switching Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Adrian Farrel and Stewart Bryant. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mpls-tp-on-demand-cv/ Technical Summary Label Switched Path Ping (LSP-Ping) is an existing and widely deployed Operations, Administration and Maintenance (OAM) mechanism for Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) Label Switched Paths (LSPs). This document describes extensions to LSP-Ping so that LSP- Ping can be used for On-demand Connectivity Verification of MPLS Transport Profile (MPLS-TP) LSPs and Pseudowires. This document also clarifies procedures to be used for processing the related OAM packets. Further, it describes procedures for using LSP-Ping to perform Connectivity Verification and Route Tracing functions in MPLS-TP networks. Finally this document updates RFC 4379 by adding a new address type and requesting an IANA registry. Working Group Summary This document is a MPLS working group document, and part of the joint IETF and ITU.T MPLS-TP project. It has been reviewed in both organizations and there is a solid support for the document. There is a good consensus around this draft, it has passed the call to verify that LC comments were correctly addressed with only minor comments. Document Quality The document is well reviewed in the MPLS working group and ITU-T SG15. Multiple vendors have indicated their intention to implement.
