Hello, Please note to the updated version of the MPLS-TP OAM analysis document. The changes were made to resolve comments that were received during IETF Last Call. · A clarification was added in the abstract to show that "MPLS-TP" and "MPLS based transport networks” are essentially the same. · The reference at the last bullet of section 2 to draft-ietf-mpls-tp-itu-t-identifiers was corrected. · The first paragraph of the Acknowledgement section (which documented the historical process) was removed. · The acknowledgment to Huub van Helvoort was removed from the acknowledgment section. Note however that Huub asked to keep his name in the list of contributing authors. Hence the appearance of his name in section 1.2 is not by mistake. · Additional acknowledgment. We used the opportunity to update the introduction to Tables 2 and 3 to show that the tables refer to IETF RFCs (and not to drafts). During the work on the document there were references to Internet drafts in progress. The final version refers to OAM tools that are defined in RFCs. This was updated in the previous version for Table 1 but by mistake not for Tables 2 and 3. We would like to thank to those that reviewed the document and provided useful comments to improve the document. Best regards, Nurit and Luyuan -----Original Message----- A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the Multiprotocol Label Switching Working Group of the IETF. Title : An Overview of the OAM Tool Set for MPLS based Transport Networks Author(s) : Nurit Sprecher Luyuan Fang Filename : draft-ietf-mpls-tp-oam-analysis-09.txt Pages : 22 Date : 2012-04-17 This document provides an overview of the OAM toolset for MPLS based Transport Networks (MPLS-TP). The toolset consists of a comprehensive set of fault management and performance monitoring capabilities (operating in the data-plane) which are appropriate for transport networks as required in RFC 5860 and support the network and services at different nested levels. This overview includes a brief recap of MPLS-TP OAM requirements and functions, and of generic mechanisms created in the MPLS data plane to allow the OAM packets run in-band and share their fate with data packets. The protocol definitions for each of the MPLS-TP OAM tools are defined in separate documents (RFCs or Working Group drafts) which are referenced by this document.
