A Scalable and Topology-Aware MPLS Data-Plane Monitoring System
RFC 8403, “A Scalable and Topology-Aware MPLS Data-Plane Monitoring System”, is an Informational document published in July 2018 by R. Geib, C. Filsfils, C. Pignataro, N. Kumar. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes features of an MPLS path monitoring system and related use cases. Segment-based routing enables a scalable and simple method to monitor data-plane liveliness of the complete set of paths belonging to a single domain. The MPLS monitoring system adds features to the traditional MPLS ping and Label Switched Path (LSP) trace, in a very complementary way. MPLS topology awareness reduces management and control-plane involvement of Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) measurements while enabling new OAM features.
