The IESG has received a request from the Protocols for IP Multicast WG (pim) to consider the following document: - 'P2MP Policy Ping' <draft-ietf-pim-p2mp-policy-ping-11.txt> as 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 last-c...@ietf.org mailing lists by 2025-07-14. 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 SR Point-to-Multipoint (P2MP) Policies are used to define and manage explicit P2MP paths within a network. These policies are typically calculated via a controller-based mechanisms and installed via a Path Computation Element (PCE). In other cases these policies can be installed manually via YANG modles or CLI. They are used to steer multicast traffic along optimized paths from a Root to a set of Leaf routers. This document defines extensions to Ping and Traceroute mechanisms for Segment Routing (SR) P2MP Policy with MPLS encapsulation to provide OAM (Operations, Administration, and Maintenance) capabilities. The proposed extensions enable operators to verify connectivity, diagnose failures and troubleshoot forwarding issues within P2MP Policy multicast trees. By introducing new mechanisms for detecting failures and validating path integrity, this document enhances the operational robustness of P2MP multicast deployments. Additionally, it ensures that existing MPLS and SR-based OAM tools can be effectively applied to networks utilizing P2MP Policies.
