The IESG has received a request from the Multiprotocol Label Switching WG (mpls) to consider the following document: - 'Proxy MPLS Echo Request' <draft-ietf-mpls-proxy-lsp-ping-03.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 2015-02-12. 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 This document defines a means of remotely initiating Multiprotocol Label Switched Protocol Pings on Label Switched Paths. A MPLS proxy ping request is sent to any Label Switching Routers along a Label Switched Path. The primary motivations for this facility are first to limit the number of messages and related processing when using LSP Ping in large Point-to-Multipoint LSPs, and second to enable leaf to leaf/root tracing. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mpls-proxy-lsp-ping/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mpls-proxy-lsp-ping/ballot/ The following IPR Declarations may be related to this I-D: http://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/778/ http://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/2164/ http://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/2087/
