Delord Status: Standards Track Stream: IETF Date: January 2014 Mailbox: mach.chen@huawei.com, wayne.caowei@huawei.com, ning.so@tatacommunications.com, frederic.jounay@orange.ch, simon.delord@alcatel-lucent.com Pages: 21 Characters: 44625 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-mpls-return-path-specified-lsp-ping-15.txt URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7110.txt This document defines extensions to the data-plane failure-detection protocol for Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Label Switched Paths (LSPs) known as "LSP ping". These extensions allow a selection of the LSP to be used for the echo reply return path. Enforcing a specific return path can be used to verify bidirectional connectivity and also increase LSP ping robustness. This document is a product of the Multiprotocol Label Switching Working Group of the IETF. This is now a Proposed Standard. STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the Internet community,and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements.
