	Title		: Detecting MPLS Data Plane Failures in Inter-AS and inter-provider Scenarios
	Author(s)	: T. Nadeau, G. Swallow

This document describes a simple and efficient mechanism that can be
   used to detect data plane failures in Multi-Protocol Label Switching
   Label Switched Paths that extend beyond a single
   Autonomous System and/or across multiple Service Provider network
   boundaries.  This document describes extensions to the existing
   MPLS LSP Ping protocol to achieve these goals.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
