Label Switched Path Ping for Pseudowire Forwarding Equivalence Classes Advertised over IPv6
RFC 6829, “Label Switched Path Ping for Pseudowire Forwarding Equivalence Classes Advertised over IPv6”, is a Proposed Standard document published in January 2013 by M. Chen, P. Pan, C. Pignataro, R. Asati. It updates RFC 4379. It has been obsoleted by RFC 8029 — refer to the newer document for the authoritative version. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Label Switched Path (LSP) Ping and traceroute mechanisms are commonly used to detect and isolate data-plane failures in all MPLS LSPs, including LSPs used for each direction of an MPLS Pseudowire (PW). However, the LSP Ping and traceroute elements used for PWs are not specified for IPv6 address usage.
This document extends the PW LSP Ping and traceroute mechanisms so they can be used with PWs that are set up and maintained using IPv6 LDP sessions. This document updates RFC 4379. [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.
