Definition of Time to Live TLV for LSP-Ping Mechanisms
RFC 7394, “Definition of Time to Live TLV for LSP-Ping Mechanisms”, is a Proposed Standard document published in November 2014 by S. Boutros, S. Sivabalan, G. Swallow, S. Saxena, V. Manral, S. Aldrin. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
LSP-Ping is a widely deployed Operation, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) mechanism in MPLS networks. However, in the present form, this mechanism is inadequate to verify connectivity of a segment of a Multi-Segment Pseudowire (MS-PW) and/or bidirectional co-routed Label Switched Path (LSP) from any node on the path of the MS-PW and/or bidirectional co-routed LSP. This document defines a TLV to address this shortcoming.
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.
