MPLS Transport Profile (MPLS-TP) Identifiers
Matthew Bocci, G. Swallow, Eric Gray · 2011
This document specifies an initial set of identifiers to be used in the Transport Profile of Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS-TP).The MPLS-TP requirements (RFC 5654) require that the elements and objects in an MPLS-TP environment are able to be configured and managed without a control plane.In such an environment, many conventions for defining identifiers are possible.This document defines identifiers for MPLS-TP management and Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) functions compatible with IP/ MPLS conventions.This document is a product of a joint Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) / International Telecommunication Union Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) effort to include an MPLS Transport Profile within the IETF MPLS and Pseudowire Emulation Edge-to-Edge (PWE3) architectures to support the capabilities and functionalities of a packet transport network as defined by the ITU-T. Status of This Memo This is an Internet Standards Track document.This document is a product of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).It represents the consensus of the IETF community.It has received public review and has been approved for publication by the Internet Engineering Steering Group (IESG).Further information on Internet Standards is available in Section 2 of RFC 5741.
