Abstract
Procedures and protocol mechanisms to enable efficient and accuratemeasurement of packet loss, delay, and throughput in MPLS networksare defined in RFC 6374.
The MPLS Transport Profile (MPLS-TP) is the set of MPLS protocolfunctions applicable to the construction and operation of packet-switched transport networks.
This document describes a profile of the general MPLS loss, delay,and throughput measurement techniques that suffices to meet thespecific requirements of MPLS-TP.
This document is a product of a joint Internet Engineering Task Force(IETF) / International Telecommunication Union TelecommunicationStandardization Sector (ITU-T) effort to include an MPLS TransportProfile within the IETF MPLS and Pseudowire Emulation Edge-to-Edge(PWE3) architectures to support the capabilities and functionalitiesof a packet transport network as defined by the ITU-T. This document is not an Internet Standards Track specification; it is published for informational purposes.
