The IESG has received a request from the Multiprotocol Label Switching WG (mpls) to consider the following document: - 'Definition of Time-to-Live TLV for LSP-Ping Mechanisms' <draft-ietf-mpls-lsp-ping-ttl-tlv-07.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 2014-04-07. 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 LSP-Ping is a widely deployed Operation, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) mechanism in MPLS networks. However, in the present form, this mechanism is inadequate to verify connectivity of a segment of a Multi-Segment PseudoWire (MS-PW) from any node on the path of the MS-PW. This document defines a TLV to address this shortcoming. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mpls-lsp-ping-ttl-tlv/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mpls-lsp-ping-ttl-tlv/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
