The framework for Operations, Administration and Maintenance (OAM)
within the MPLS Transport Profile (MPLS-TP) describes how the Maintenance
Entity Group Intermediate Points (MIPs) may be situated within
network nodes at 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 either incoming or 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.
This document is a product of the Multiprotocol Label Switching Working Group of the IETF.
