Operations, Administration, and Maintenance Framework for MPLS-Based Transport Networks
RFC 6371, “Operations, Administration, and Maintenance Framework for MPLS-Based Transport Networks”, is an Informational document published in September 2011 by I. Busi, D. Allan. It has since been updated by RFC 6435. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The Transport Profile of Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS-TP) is a packet-based transport technology based on the MPLS Traffic Engineering (MPLS-TE) and pseudowire (PW) data-plane architectures.
This document describes a framework to support a comprehensive set of Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) procedures that fulfill the MPLS-TP OAM requirements for fault, performance, and protection-switching management and that do not rely on the presence of a control plane.
This document is a product of a joint Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) / International Telecommunications Union Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) effort to include an MPLS Transport Profile within the IETF MPLS and Pseudowire Emulation Edge-to-Edge (PWE3) architectures to support the capabilities and functionalities of a packet transport network as defined by the ITU-T.
This document is not an Internet Standards Track specification; it is published for informational purposes.
What “Informational” means
Published for the general information of the community. It does not define an IETF standard and carries no standards-track status.
