Recent proposals have extended the scope of Multiprotocol Label
Switching (MPLS) Label Switched Paths (LSPs) to encompass
point-to-multipoint (P2MP) LSPs.
The requirement for a simple and efficient mechanism that can be used
to detect data-plane failures in point-to-point (P2P) MPLS LSPs has
been recognized and has led to the development of techniques for
fault detection and isolation commonly referred to as "LSP ping".
The scope of this document is fault detection and isolation for P2MP
MPLS LSPs. This documents does not replace any of the mechanisms of
LSP ping, but clarifies their applicability to MPLS P2MP LSPs, and
extends the techniques and mechanisms of LSP ping to the MPLS P2MP
environment.
This document updates RFC 4379. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
This document is a product of the Multiprotocol Label Switching Working Group of the IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.
