Technical Summary
This document describes features of a path monitoring system and
related use cases. Segment based routing enables a scalable and
simple method to monitor data plane liveliness of the complete set of
paths belonging to a single domain. The MPLS monitoring system adds
features to the traditional MPLS Ping and LSP Trace, in a very
complementary way. MPLS topology awareness reduces management and
control plane involvement of OAM measurements while enabling new OAM
features.
Working Group Summary
Support has been consistent in the WG.
Document Quality
There is a prototype implementation which has been running in a
research backbone. The resulting measurements have been compared to the
results measured by three IP Performance Measurement Work Group (IPPM WG)
standard conformant Measurement Agents and the results are equivalents. This
is documented in draft-leipnitz-spring-pms-implementation-report-00.
