Operations, Administration, and Maintenance Framework for
MPLS-Based Transport Networks
Abstract
The Transport Profile of Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS-TP) is a
packet-based transport technology based on the MPLS Traffic
Engineering (MPLS-TE) and pseudowire (PW) data-plane architectures.
This document describes a framework to support a comprehensive set of
Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) procedures that
fulfill the MPLS-TP OAM requirements for fault, performance, and
protection-switching management and that do not rely on the presence
of a control plane.
This document is a product of a joint Internet Engineering Task Force
(IETF) / International Telecommunications Union Telecommunication
Standardization Sector (ITU-T) effort to include an MPLS Transport
Profile within the IETF MPLS and Pseudowire Emulation Edge-to-Edge
(PWE3) architectures to support the capabilities and functionalities
of a packet transport network as defined by the ITU-T.
