IETF RFC 7555
Proxy MPLS Echo Request
| Organization: | IETF |
| Publication Date: | 1 June 2015 |
| Status: | active |
| Page Count: | 28 |
scope:
This document defines a means of remotely initiating Multiprotocol Label Switched Protocol (MPLS) Pings on Label Switched Paths. An MPLS Proxy Ping Request is sent to any Label Switching Router along a Label Switched Path. The primary motivations for this facility are first to limit the number of messages and related processing when using LSP Ping in large Point-to-Multipoint LSPs, and second to enable tracing from leaf to leaf (or root).
