A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Multiprotocol Label Switching Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: Detecting Data Plane Failures in Point-to-Multipoint MPLS Traffic Engineering - Extensions to LSP Ping
	Author(s)	: S. Yasukawa, et al.
	Filename	: draft-ietf-mpls-p2mp-lsp-ping-01.txt
	Pages		: 18

Recent proposals have extended the scope of Multi-Protocol Label
Switching (MPLS) traffic engineered Label Switched Paths (TE LSPs)
to encompass point-to-multipoint (P2MP) TE LSPs.

The requirement for a simple and efficient mechanism that can be
used to detect data plane failures in point-to-point (P2P) MPLS LSPs
has been recognised and has led to the development of techniques
for fault detection and isolation commonly referred to as "LSP Ping".

The scope of this document is fault detection and isolation for P2MP
MPLS TE LSPs. This documents does not replace any of the mechanism of
LSP Ping, but clarifies their applicability to P2MP MPLS TE LSPs, and
extends the techniques and mechanisms of LSP Ping to the P2MP TE
environment.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
		
		
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
