Multiprotocol Label Switching Transport Profile (MPLS-TP)
MIB-Based Management Overview
Abstract
A range of Management Information Base (MIB) modules has been
developed to help model and manage the various aspects of
Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) networks. These MIB modules are
defined in separate documents that focus on the specific areas of
responsibility of the modules that they describe.
The MPLS Transport Profile (MPLS-TP) is a profile of MPLS
functionality specific to the construction of packet-switched
transport networks.
This document describes the MIB-based architecture for MPLS-TP,
indicates the interrelationships between different existing MIB
modules that can be leveraged for MPLS-TP network management, and
identifies areas where additional MIB modules are required.
