Abstract

Continuity Check, Proactive Connectivity Verification, and RemoteDefect Indication functionalities are required for MPLS TransportProfile (MPLS-TP) Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM).

Continuity Check monitors a Label Switched Path for any loss of continuitydefect. Connectivity Verification augments Continuity Checkin order to provide confirmation that the desired source is connectedto the desired sink. Remote Defect Indication enables an end point toreport, to its associated end point, a fault or defect condition thatit detects on a pseudowire, Label Switched Path, or Section.

This document specifies specific extensions to BidirectionalForwarding Detection (BFD) and methods forproactive Continuity Check, Continuity Verification, and Remote DefectIndication for MPLS-TP pseudowires, Label Switched Paths, and Sectionsusing BFD as extended by this memo. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
