     Abstract
     
        Ping is a widely deployed Operation, Administration, and Maintenance
        (OAM) mechanism in networks.  This document describes a mechanism
        for detecting data-plane failures using Ping in RFC7348 VXLAN based
        EVPN networks.

        RFC7348 Virtual eXtensible Local Area Network (VXLAN): A Framework
        for Overlaying Virtualized Layer 2 Networks over Layer 3 Networks
        defines means to support data center layer 2 E-VPN over an IP core
        network.
     
        draft-jain-bess-evpn-lsp-ping defines procedures to detect data-
        plane failures using LSP Ping in MPLS networks deploying EVPN and
        PBB-EVPN, which is an extension of RFC6426.
     
        This document outlines how OAM data fields are encapsulated and how
        connectivity check and fault isolation is performed from edge to

        solution.
     
     2. Conventions used in this document
     
        In examples, "C:" and "S:" indicate lines sent by the client and
        server respectively.
     
        The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
        "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
        document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119].
     
        In this document, these words will appear with that interpretation
        only when in ALL CAPS.  Lower case uses of these words are not to be
        interpreted as carrying significance described in RFC 2119.
     
        In this document, the characters ">>" preceding an indented line(s)
        indicates a statement using the key words listed above.  This
        convention aids reviewers in quickly identifying or finding the
        portions of this RFC covered by these keywords.

     4. IP ping and trace route extension for VXLAN
     
        In IP network ICMP, UDP or HTTP based ping and traceroute provide
        ways to perform reachability check and fault isolation, this can be
        used for OAM purpose for the IP underlay network.  E-VPN extension
        for the existing ping and traceroute operations make it control-
        plane aware and add additional capability to validate the E-VPN
        forwarding context, detect data-plane errors and measure PE to PE
        performance.
     
     5. VXLAN OAM header format
     
        IPv4 underlay OAM information is encoded in the VXLAN header as
        below.
     
        VXLAN Header
         0                   1                   2                   3

        semantics associated with this handle, although a sender may find
        this useful for matching up requests with replies.
     
        The Sequence Number is assigned by the sender of the echo request
        and can be (for example) used to detect missed replies.
     
        The TimeStamp Sent is the time of day (according to the sender's
        clock) in 64-bit NTP timestamp format [RFC5905] when the echo
        request is sent.  The TimeStamp Received in an echo reply is the
        time of day (according to the receiver's clock) in 64-bit NTP
        timestamp format in which the corresponding echo request was
        received.  TimeStamp Received must be zero for the request.  Value 0
        means the time is not measured or available, shall be ignored.
     
        TLVs (Type-Length-Value tuples) have the following format:
     
         0                   1                   2                   3

        The EVPN MAC TLV fields are derived from the MAC/IP advertisement
        route defined in [RFC7432] Section 7.2 and has the format as shown

        Inclusive Multicast TLV has the format as shown in Figure 5. This
        TLV is included in the echo request sent to the EVPN peer PE by the
        originator of request to verify the multicast connectivity state on
        the peer PE(s) in EVPN and PBB-EVPN.

     5.5. EVPN IP Prefix TLV
     
        The EVPN IP Prefix TLV is used to identify the IP Prefix for an EVI
        under test at a peer PE.  The EVPN IP Prefix sub-TLV fields are
        derived from the IP Prefix Route (RT-5) advertisement defined in [I-
        D.ietf-bess-evpn-prefix-advertisement] and has the format as shown
        in Figure 7.  This TLV is included in the Echo Request sent to the
        Peer PE by the PE that is the originator of the request.

     6. E-VPN Context Validation procedure
     
        The TLVs in the EVPN OAM header is collect from the control-plane of
        the ping or traceroute initiator PE, and to be validated by control-
        plane of the peer PE, mid-node transmit routers may ignore it.  For
        traceroute, when the packet is punted to OAM for each TTL expiry
        event, transmitter router may update the TimeStamp field in the
        header to provide performance measurement.
     
        This procedure do not have preference of protocol selection of ping
        or trace route.  Typically, ICMP echo request and ICMP echo reply is
        used for ping; while ICMP echo request, UDP, HTTP or other protocols
        may be used for traceroute.  There is no change to these upper level
        protocols.

     7. Security Considerations
     
        The proposal introduced in this document does not introduce any new
        security considerations beyond that already apply to [RFC7432],
        [RFC7348], [RFC7623] and [RFC6425] and draft-jain-bess-evpn-lsp-
        ping.
     
     8. IANA Considerations
     
        8.1. Sub-TLV Type
     
        This document defines 6 new TLV types, which is intend to use the
        same value as RT types defined in [RFC7432], [draft-ietf-bess-
     
           evpn-prefix-advertisement] and [draft-ietf-bess-evpn-igmp-mld-
     
           proxy].
     
        IANA is requested to assign a sub-TLV type value to the following
     
        8.2. Proposed new Return Codes
     
        [RFC8029] defines values for the Return Code field of Echo Reply.
        This document proposes two new Return Codes, which SHOULD be
        included in the Echo Reply message by a PE in response to LSP Ping
        Echo Request message:
     
        1. The FEC exists on the PE and the behavior is to drop the packet
           because of not DF.
     
        2. The FEC exists on the PE and the behavior is to drop the packet
           because of Split Horizon Filtering.
