Manral, S. Aldrin Status: Standards Track Stream: IETF Date: November 2014 Mailbox: sboutros@cisco.com, msiva@cisco.com, swallow@cisco.com, ssaxena@cisco.com, vishwas@ionosnetworks.com, aldrin.ietf@gmail.com Pages: 8 Characters: 15120 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-mpls-lsp-ping-ttl-tlv-10.txt URL: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7394.txt 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) and/or bidirectional co-routed Label Switched Path (LSP) from any node on the path of the MS-PW and/or bidirectional co-routed LSP. This document defines a TLV to address this shortcoming. 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. 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.
