Definition of P2MP PW TLV for Label Switched Path Ping Mechanisms
Overview
RFC 8339, “Definition of P2MP PW TLV for Label Switched Path Ping Mechanisms”, is a Proposed Standard document published in March 2018 by P. Jain, S. Boutros, S. Aldrin. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
Label Switched Path (LSP) Ping is a widely deployed Operation, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) mechanism in MPLS networks. This document describes a mechanism to verify connectivity of Point-to-Multipoint (P2MP) Pseudowires (PWs) using LSP Ping.
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.
