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 document 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 a new protocol.  It is not an extension of LSP Ping.
   Although LSP Ping and LSP Self-ping are named similarly, each is
   designed for a unique purpose.  Each protocol listens on its own UDP
   port and executes its own procedures.

   LSP Self-ping is an extremely light-weight mechanism.  It does not
   consume control plane resources on transit or egress LSRs.
