Overview

RFC 6923, “MPLS Transport Profile Identifiers Following ITU-T Conventions”, is a Proposed Standard document published in May 2013 by R. Winter, E. Gray, H. van Helvoort, M. Betts. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

This document specifies an extension to the identifiers to be used in the Transport Profile of Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS-TP). Identifiers that follow IP/MPLS conventions have already been defined. This memo augments that set of identifiers for MPLS-TP management and Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) functions to include identifier information in a format typically used by the International Telecommunication Union Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T).
