The IESG has received a request from the Multiprotocol Label Switching WG (mpls) to consider the following document: - 'Mechanism for performing LSP-Ping over MPLS tunnels' <draft-ietf-mpls-lsp-ping-enhanced-dsmap-09.txt> as a Proposed Standard
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the i...@ietf.org mailing lists by 2011-05-30. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to i...@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document describes methods for performing LSP Ping (specified in RFC 4379) traceroute over MPLS tunnels and for traceroute of stitched MPLS label-switched-paths (LSPs). The techniques outlined in RFC 4379 are insufficient to perform traceroute Forwarding Equivalency Class (FEC) validation and path discovery for a LSP that goes over other MPLS tunnels or for a stitched LSP. This document describes enhancements to the downstream-mapping TLV (defined in RFC 4379). These enhancements along with other procedures outlined in this document can be used to trace such LSPs. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mpls-lsp-ping-enhanced-dsmap/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mpls-lsp-ping-enhanced-dsmap/ The following IPR Declarations may be related to this I-D: http://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/1084/ http://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/1053/ _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
