Abstract

The Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Label Switched Path (LSP)Ping and traceroute mechanisms are commonly used to detect andisolate data-plane failures in all MPLS LSPs, including LSPs used foreach direction of an MPLS Pseudowire (PW). However, the LSP Ping andtraceroute elements used for PWs are not specified for IPv6 addressusage.

This document extends the PW LSP Ping and traceroute mechanisms sothey can be used with PWs that are set up and maintained using IPv6LDP sessions. This document updates RFC 4379. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
