      <abstract>
	 <t>   This document specifies encapsulations for the Simple Two-Way Active
   Measurement Protocol (STAMP), defined in RFC 8762, and its optional
   extensions, defined in RFC 8972, in MPLS networks.  It specifies the
   encapsulation of STAMP test packets for point-to-point Label Switched
   Paths (LSPs) and point-to-point single-segment Pseudowires (PWs),
   with or without an IP/UDP header, so that the test packets experience
   the same forwarding and Equal-Cost Multi-Path (ECMP) behavior as the
   data traffic being measured.  In addition, two new MPLS Generic
   Associated Channel (G-ACh) types are defined.

   This document updates RFC 8762 and RFC 8972 to allow STAMP to operate
   without an IP/UDP header when STAMP test packets are carried over
   MPLS LSPs and PWs, and specifies the resulting changes to the
   processing of the STAMP session identifier, the TTL and IPv6 Hop
   Limit, and the STAMP TLV extensions.

   This document specifies the requirements for IPv6 STAMP in
   unauthenticated mode using UDP zero-checksum, which deviates from the
   integrity requirement in RFC 6936.
