Abstract:
When certain RSVP-TE optimizations are implemented, ingress LSRs can
receive RSVP RESV messages before forwarding state has been installed
on all downstream nodes. According to the RSVP-TE specification, the
ingress LSR can forward traffic through an LSP as soon as it receives
a RESV message. However, if the ingress LSR forwards traffic through
the LSP before forwarding state has been installed on all downstream
nodes, traffic can be lost.
This memo describes LSP Self-ping. When an ingress LSR receives an
RESV message, it can invoke LSP Self-ping procedures to ensure that
forwarding state has been installed on all downstream nodes.
LSP Self-ping is an extremely light-weight mechanism. It does not
consume control plane resources on transit or egress LSRs.
