Layer 2 Virtual Private Network Operations, Administration, and Maintenance Requirements and Framework
RFC 6136, “Layer 2 Virtual Private Network Operations, Administration, and Maintenance Requirements and Framework”, is an Informational document published in March 2011 by A. Sajassi, D. Mohan. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document provides framework and requirements for Layer 2 Virtual Private Network (L2VPN) Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM). The OAM framework is intended to provide OAM layering across L2VPN services, pseudowires (PWs), and Packet Switched Network (PSN) tunnels. This document is intended to identify OAM requirements for L2VPN services, i.e., Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS), Virtual Private Wire Service (VPWS), and IP-only LAN Service (IPLS). Furthermore, if L2VPN service OAM requirements impose specific requirements on PW OAM and/or PSN OAM, those specific PW and/or PSN OAM requirements are also identified. This document is not an Internet Standards Track specification; it is published for informational purposes.
