1. Proactive Connection Verification, Continuity Check and Remote Defect indication for MPLS Transport Profile draft-ietf-mpls-tp-cc-cv-rdi-02 editors: Dave Allan, John Drake, George Swallow

2. Changes Since the Last Version Comment resolution –Primarily clarification and editorial Major changes –Interleaving of CC and CV –Relocation of source MEP information –Clarifications on the startup procedures Minor changes –IP encapsulation added for backwards compatibility –RDI clarified as being a diagnostic code –Poll/Final clarified as not valid operation for GAL/G- ACh encapsulated BFD

3. Interleaving of CC and CV Objective is to reduce sink MEP processing load while still offering mis-connectivity detection A source MEP can send CV source MEP information every ‘n’ CC messages –Note CV counts as a CC for LOC defect detection Discussion point is defect exit criteria –Either LSP “locks” in down state on detecting mis- connectivity OR there is a minimum insertion interval for CV CC CVCC

4. Relocation of Source MEP Information No longer uses ACh TLV ACh channel type identifies if source MEP TLV trails the BFD control packet 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ |0 0 0 1|Version| Flags | 0xHH BFD CV Code Point | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | ~ BFD Control Packet ~ | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | ~ Unique MEP-ID of source of the BFD packet ~ | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

5. Clarification on Startup For DOWN and INIT states, tx rate is 1/sec and detection time is 3.5 seconds On transition to UP tx rate switches to configured/negotiated rate and detection time is “detect mult x tx interval”

6. Next Steps Continue to gather feedback from the list May need to progress draft without addressing uni-directional paths –Document in a “bis” version
