      <abstract>
	 <t>   This document defines a mechanism for discovering MPLS Network
   Actions (MNA) capabilities along a Label Switched Path (LSP) using
   the LSP Ping echo request/reply mechanism defined in RFC 8029.  The
   In-Stack MNA capabilities include the Readable Label Depth (RLD), the
   maximum sizes of differently scoped Network Action Sub-stacks
   (MLD_NAS), and supported In-Stack network action opcodes.  The Post-
   Stack MNA capabilities include the maximum Post-Stack MPLS Header
   size (MLD_PSMH), the Readable Label Depth including the Post-Stack
   MPLS Header (RLD_PSMH), and supported Post-Stack network action
   opcodes.  This mechanism allows the ingress Label Edge Router (LER)
   to discover MNA capabilities of each transit and egress node on the
   path, enabling correct construction of MPLS label stacks containing
   MNA network actions.
