The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Proxy MPLS Echo Request' (draft-ietf-mpls-proxy-lsp-ping-05.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Multiprotocol Label Switching Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Alia Atlas and Adrian Farrel. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mpls-proxy-lsp-ping/ Technical Summary This document defines a means of remotely initiating Multiprotocol Label Switched Protocol Pings on Label Switched Paths. An MPLS Proxy Ping Request is sent to any Label Switching Router 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. Working Group Summary The working group process has been smooth. We had comparatively few comments (all of the supportive) during the WGLC, but had a good discussion during the MPLS-RT review (April 2013). No points of particular rough consensus: the working group is behind this document. Document Quality We know of implementations of this specification. Personnel Loa Andersson is the Document Shepherd. Adrian Farrel is the responsible AD
