Data Channel Status Confirmation Extensions
for the Link Management Protocol
Abstract
This document defines simple additions to the Link Management
Protocol (LMP) to provide a control plane tool that can assist in the
location of stranded resources by allowing adjacent Label-Switching
Routers (LSRs) to confirm data channel statuses and provide triggers
for notifying the management plane if any discrepancies are found.
As LMP is already used to verify data plane connectivity, it is
considered to be an appropriate candidate to support this feature.
