A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 7260 Title: GMPLS RSVP-TE Extensions for Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) Configuration Author: A. Takacs, D. Fedyk, J. He Status: Standards Track Stream: IETF Date: June 2014 Mailbox: attila.takacs@ericsson.com, don.fedyk@hp.com, hejia@huawei.com Pages: 24 Characters: 58030 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-ccamp-oam-configuration-fwk-13.txt URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7260.txt Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) is an integral part of transport connections; hence, it is required that OAM functions be activated/deactivated in sync with connection commissioning/ decommissioning, in order to avoid spurious alarms and ensure consistent operation. In certain technologies, OAM entities are inherently established once the connection is set up, while other technologies require extra configuration to establish and configure OAM entities. This document specifies extensions to Resource Reservation Protocol - Traffic Engineering (RSVP-TE) to support the establishment and configuration of OAM entities along with Label Switched Path signaling. This document is a product of the Common Control and Measurement Plane 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. Please refer to the current edition of the Internet Official Protocol Standards (STD 1) for the standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
