The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Path Monitoring System/Head-end based MPLS Ping and Traceroute in Inter-domain Segment Routing Networks' (draft-ietf-mpls-spring-inter-domain-oam-20.txt) as Proposed Standard
This document is the product of the Multiprotocol Label Switching Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Gunter Van de Velde, Jim Guichard and John Scudder. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mpls-spring-inter-domain-oam/ Technical Summary The Segment Routing (SR) architecture leverages source routing and can be directly applied to the use of a MPLS data plane. An SR-MPLS network may consist of multiple IGP domains or multiple Autonomous Systems(ASes) under the control of the same organization. It is useful to have the Label Switched Path (LSP) ping and traceroute procedures when an SR end-to-end path traverses multiple ASes or domains. This document describes mechanisms to facilitate LSP ping and traceroute in inter-AS and inter-domain SR-MPLS networks in an efficient manner with a simple Operations, Administration and Maintenance (OAM) protocol extension which uses data plane forwarding alone for forwarding echo replies on transit nodes. Working Group Summary As highlighted in the document shepherd report there was little discussion on this document but it was reviewed by several key participants of the WG and rough consensus was reached to move the document forward. Document Quality As highlighted in the shepherd report there is an RFC 7942 Implementation Status section as Section 12 of the document. It describes a single vendor's prototype implementation. Personnel The Document Shepherd for this document is Adrian Farrel. The Responsible Area Director is Jim Guichard. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
