RFC 8403: A Scalable and Topology-Aware MPLS Data-Plane Monitoring System
Recent RFCs 2018-08-02
Summary:
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.
