The Multiprotocol 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 LSPs used for
each direction of an MPLS Pseudowire (PW). However, the LSP Ping and
traceroute elements used for PWs are not specified for IPv6 address
usage.
This document extends the PW LSP Ping and traceroute mechanisms so
they can be used with PWs that are set up and maintained using IPv6
LDP sessions. This document updates RFC 4379. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
