Label Switched Path Ping Mechanisms for EVPN and Provider Backbone Bridging EVPN
RFC 9489, “Label Switched Path Ping Mechanisms for EVPN and Provider Backbone Bridging EVPN”, is a Proposed Standard document published in November 2023 by P. Jain, A. Sajassi, S. Salam, S. Boutros, G. Mirsky. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
Label Switched Path (LSP) Ping is a widely deployed Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) mechanism in MPLS networks. This document describes mechanisms for detecting data plane failures using LSP Ping in MPLS-based Ethernet VPN (EVPN) and Provider Backbone Bridging EVPN (PBB-EVPN) networks.
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.
