The IESG has received a request from the Multiprotocol Label Switching WG (mpls) to consider the following document: - 'Label Switched Path (LSP) Ping for IPv6 Pseudowire FECs' <draft-ietf-mpls-ipv6-pw-lsp-ping-03.txt> as Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2012-11-09. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) Label Switched Path (LSP) Ping and traceroute mechanisms are commonly used to detect and isolate data plane failures in all MPLS LSPs including Pseudowire (PW) LSPs. The PW LSP Ping and traceroute elements, however, are not specified for IPv6 address usage. This document extends the PW LSP Ping and traceroute mechanisms so they can be used with IPv6 PWs, and updates RFC 4379. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mpls-ipv6-pw-lsp-ping/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mpls-ipv6-pw-lsp-ping/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
