RFC 6428 Title: Proactive Connectivity Verification, Continuity Check, and Remote Defect Indication for the MPLS Transport Profile Author: D. Allan, Ed., G. Swallow Ed., J. Drake Ed. Status: Standards Track Stream: IETF Date: November 2011 Mailbox: david.i.allan@ericsson.com, swallow@cisco.com, jdrake@juniper.net Pages: 21 Characters: 44293 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-mpls-tp-cc-cv-rdi-06.txt URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6428.txt Continuity Check, Proactive Connectivity Verification, and Remote Defect Indication functionalities are required for MPLS Transport Profile (MPLS-TP) Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM). Continuity Check monitors a Label Switched Path for any loss of continuity defect. Connectivity Verification augments Continuity Check in order to provide confirmation that the desired source is connected to the desired sink. Remote Defect Indication enables an end point to report, to its associated end point, a fault or defect condition that it detects on a pseudowire, Label Switched Path, or Section. This document specifies specific extensions to Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) and methods for proactive Continuity Check, Continuity Verification, and Remote Defect Indication for MPLS-TP pseudowires, Label Switched Paths, and Sections using BFD as extended by this memo. [STANDARDS-TRACK] This document is a product of the Multiprotocol Label Switching Working Group of the IETF. This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol. STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the Internet community,and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the Internet Official Protocol Standards (STD 1) for the standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
