Abstract

This document describes features of an MPLS path monitoring systemand related use cases. Segment-based routing enables a scalable andsimple method to monitor data-plane liveliness of the complete set ofpaths belonging to a single domain. The MPLS monitoring system addsfeatures to the traditional MPLS ping and Label Switched Path (LSP)trace, in a very complementary way. MPLS topology awareness reducesmanagement and control-plane involvement of Operations,Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) measurements while enabling newOAM features.
