This document aims to address the limitation in current standards for doing so and provides solution which can be made standards in future. As an additional requirement, in network border routers, there are liaison/dummy VRFs created to leak routes from one network/fabric to another. There are scenarios wherein an explicit reachability check for these type of VRFs is not possible with existing mpls-ping mechanisms. This draft intends to address this as well.}, }
