A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 7369 Title: GMPLS RSVP-TE Extensions for Ethernet Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) Configuration Author: A. Takacs, B. Gero, H. Long Status: Standards Track Stream: IETF Date: October 2014 Mailbox: attila.takacs@ericsson.com, balazs.peter.gero@ericsson.com, lonho@huawei.com Pages: 18 Characters: 38843 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-ccamp-rsvp-te-eth-oam-ext-13.txt URL: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7369.txt The work related to GMPLS Ethernet Label Switching (GELS) extended GMPLS RSVP-TE to support the establishment of Ethernet Label Switching Paths (LSPs). IEEE Ethernet Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) specifies an adjunct Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) flow to check connectivity in Ethernet networks. CFM can also be used with Ethernet LSPs for fault detection and triggering recovery mechanisms. The ITU-T Y.1731 specification builds on CFM and specifies additional OAM mechanisms, including Performance Monitoring, for Ethernet networks. This document specifies extensions of the GMPLS RSVP-TE protocol to support the setup of the associated Ethernet OAM entities of Ethernet LSPs and defines the Ethernet technology-specific TLVs based on the GMPLS OAM Configuration Framework. This document supports, but does not modify, the IEEE and ITU-T OAM mechanisms. 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 Official Internet Protocol Standards (https://www.rfc-editor.org/standards) for the standardization state and status of this protocol.
