Technical Summary

   The Framework for Operations, Administration and Maintenance (OAM)
   within the MPLS Transport Profile (MPLS-TP) describes how Maintenance
   Entity Group Intermediate Points (MIPs) may be situated within
   network nodes at the incoming and outgoing interfaces.

   This document elaborates on important considerations for internal MIP
   addressing.  More precisely it describes important restrictions for
   any mechanism that specifies a way of forming OAM messages so that
   they can be targeted at MIPs on incoming or MIPs on outgoing
   interfaces and forwarded correctly through the forwarding engine.
   Furthermore, the document includes considerations for node
   implementations where there is no distinction between the incoming
   and outgoing MIP.

Working Group Summary

   This document has support in the working group and has been well
   reviewed.

   There has been a comparatively long discussion that in the end
   converged on a widely accepted definition of pre-interface MIPs
   and MEPs.

Document Quality

    This an informational document, it discusses deployment of per-
   interface MIPs and MEPs.

   The document have had the review that is needed.

   No need for third party expert reviews.

Personnel

    Loa Andersson is the document shepherd.

   Stewart Bryant is the responsible AD.
