Virtual Circuit Connectivity Verification (VCCV)
Capability Advertisement for MPLS Transport Profile (MPLS-TP)
Abstract
This document specifies how signaling and selection processes for
Pseudowire (PW) Virtual Circuit Connectivity Verification (VCCV) are
modified to ensure backward compatibility and allow use of proactive
Connectivity Verification (CV), Continuity Check (CC), and Remote
Defect Indication (RDI) over MPLS Transport Profile (MPLS-TP) PWs.
This document introduces four new CV types and, to accommodate them,
a new VCCV Extended CV parameter for PW Interface Parameters Sub-TLV
is defined.

1. Introduction
Proactive Connectivity Verification (CV), Continuity Check (CC), and
Remote Defect Indication (RDI) for the MPLS Transport Profile
[RFC6428] are applicable to all constructs of the MPLS-TP, including
pseudowires (PWs). If the control plane is used to operate and
manage PWs then the procedures defined in [RFC5085] and [RFC5885]
should be used to select the proper type of Control Channel and the
corresponding type of Connectivity Verification. This document
specifies how signaling and selection processes are modified to
ensure backward compatibility and allow use of proactive CV-CC-RDI
over MPLS-TP PWs.
