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           : Operations, Administration and Maintenance Framework for MPLS- based Transport Networks
	Author(s)       : D. Allan, et al.
	Filename        : draft-ietf-mpls-tp-oam-framework-08.txt

The Transport Profile of Multi-Protocol Label Switching
(MPLS-TP) is a packet-based transport technology based on the
MPLS Traffic Engineering (MPLS-TE) and Pseudowire (PW) data
plane architectures.

This document describes a framework to support a comprehensive
set of Operations, Administration and Maintenance (OAM)
procedures that fulfill the MPLS-TP OAM requirements for fault,
performance and protection-switching management and that do not
rely on the presence of a control plane.

This document is a product of a joint Internet Engineering Task
Force (IETF) / International Telecommunications Union
Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) effort to
include an MPLS Transport Profile within the IETF MPLS and PWE3
architectures to support the capabilities and functionalities of
a packet transport network as defined by the ITU-T.
