Data Channel Status Confirmation Extensions for the Link Management Protocol
RFC 5818, “Data Channel Status Confirmation Extensions for the Link Management Protocol”, is a Proposed Standard document published in April 2010 by D. Li, H. Xu, S. Bardalai, J. Meuric, D. Caviglia. It has since been updated by RFC 6898. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document defines simple additions to the Link Management Protocol (LMP) to provide a control plane tool that can assist in the location of stranded resources by allowing adjacent Label-Switching Routers (LSRs) to confirm data channel statuses and provide triggers for notifying the management plane if any discrepancies are found. As LMP is already used to verify data plane connectivity, it is considered to be an appropriate candidate to support this feature. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
