Label Switched Path (LSP) Ping for Pseudowire Forwarding Equivalence Classes (FECs) Advertised over IPv6

This RFC 6829 was published in 2013.

Abstract

The Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Label Switched Path (LSP) Ping and traceroute mechanisms are commonly used to detect and isolate data-plane failures in all MPLS LSPs, including LSPs used for each direction of an MPLS Pseudowire (PW).
However, the LSP Ping and traceroute elements used for PWs are not specified for IPv6 address usage.

RFC 6829 introduction

Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Label Switched Path (LSP) Ping and traceroute are defined in [RFC4379].
These mechanisms can be used to detect data-plane failures in all MPLS LSPs, including Pseudowires (PWs).
However, the PW LSP Ping and traceroute elements are not specified for IPv6 address usage.
