A Framework for Multi-Protocol Label Switching Operations and Management
RFC 4378, “A Framework for Multi-Protocol Label Switching Operations and Management”, is an Informational document published in February 2006 by D. Allan, T. Nadeau. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document is a framework for how data plane protocols can be applied to operations and maintenance procedures for Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS). The document is structured to outline how Operations and Management (OAM) functionality can be used to assist in fault, configuration, accounting, performance, and security management, commonly known by the acronym FCAPS. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
