MPLS Fault Management Operations, Administration, and Maintenance
RFC 6427, “MPLS Fault Management Operations, Administration, and Maintenance”, is a Proposed Standard document published in November 2011 by G. Swallow, A. Fulignoli, M. Vigoureux, S. Boutros, D. Ward. It has since been updated by RFC 7214. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document specifies Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) messages to indicate service disruptive conditions for MPLS-based transport network Label Switched Paths. The notification mechanism employs a generic method for a service disruptive condition to be communicated to a Maintenance Entity Group End Point. This document defines an MPLS OAM channel, along with messages to communicate various types of service disruptive conditions. [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.
