At first glance, the acronym "OAM" seems to be well-known and
well-understood. Looking at the acronym a bit more closely reveals a
set of recurring problems that are revisited time and again.
This document provides a definition of the acronym "OAM" (Operations,
Administration, and Maintenance) for use in all future IETF documents
that refer to OAM. There are other definitions and acronyms that
will be discussed while exploring the definition of the constituent
parts of the "OAM" term. This memo documents an Internet Best Current
Practice.
This document is a product of the Operations and Management Area Working Group
Working Group of the IETF.
BCP: This document specifies an Internet Best Current Practices for the
Internet Community, and requests discussion and suggestions for
improvements. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
