Abstract (included as informaiton)

    As transport of diverse traffic types such as voice, frame
    relay, and ATM over MPLS become more common, the ability to detect,
    handle and diagnose control and data plane defects becomes
    critical.

    Detection and specification of how to handle those defects is not
    only important because such defects may not only affect the
    fundamental operation of an MPLS network, but also because they
    may impact SLA commitments for customers of that network.

    This Internet draft describes requirements for user and data
    plane operations and management (OAM) for Multi-Protocol
    Label Switching (MPLS). These requirements have been gathered
    from network operators who have extensive experience deploying
    MPLS networks, similarly some of these requirements have
    appeared in other documents [Y1710]. This draft specifies OAM
    requirements for MPLS, as well as for applications of MPLS such
    as pseudowire voice and VPN services. Those interested in specific
    issues relating to instrumenting MPLS for OAM purposes are directed
    to [FRAMEWORK]
