  Title:   Guidelines for Characterizing "OAM"

Abstract:

  As the IETF continues to produce and standardize different
  Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) protocols and
  technologies, various qualifiers and modifiers are prepended to the
  OAM abbreviation.  While, at first glance, the most used appear to be
  well understood, the same qualifier may be interpreted differently in
  different contexts.  A case in point is the qualifiers "in-band" and
  "out-of-band" which have their origins in the radio lexicon, and
  which have been extrapolated into other communication networks.

  This document considers some common qualifiers and modifiers that are
  prepended, within the context of packet networks, to the OAM
  abbreviation and lays out guidelines for their use in future IETF
  work.

  This document updates RFC 6291 by adding to the guidelines for the
  use of the term "OAM".  It does not modify any other part of RFC
  6291.
