LSP-Ping Mechanisms for EVPN and PBB-EVPN
draft-jain-bess-evpn-lsp-ping-08
Abstract
LSP-Ping is a widely deployed Operation, Administration, and
Maintenance (OAM) mechanism in MPLS networks. This document
describes mechanisms for detecting data-plane failures using LSP Ping
in MPLS based EVPN and PBB-EVPN networks.

1. Introduction
[RFC7432] describes MPLS based Ethernet VPN (EVPN) technology. An
EVPN comprises CE(s) connected to PE(s). The PEs provide layer 2
EVPN among the CE(s) over the MPLS core infrastructure. In EVPN
networks, PEs advertise the MAC addresses learned from the locally
connected CE(s), along with MPLS Label, to remote PE(s) in the
control plane using multi-protocol BGP. EVPN enables multi-homing of
CE(s) connected to multiple PEs and load balancing of traffic to and
