Subject: [mpls] Last Call: <draft-ietf-mpls-bfd-directed-26.txt> (Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) Directed Return Path for MPLS Label Switched Paths (LSPs)) to Experimental RFC

The IESG has received a request from the Multiprotocol Label Switching WG
(mpls) to consider the following document: - 'Bidirectional Forwarding
Detection (BFD) Directed Return Path for MPLS
   Label Switched Paths (LSPs)'
  <draft-ietf-mpls-bfd-directed-26.txt> as Experimental RFC

The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final
comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the
last-call@ietf.org mailing lists by 2024-04-15. Exceptionally, comments may
be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning
of the Subject line to allow automated sorting.

Abstract


   Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) is expected to be able to
   monitor a wide variety of encapsulations of paths between systems.
   When a BFD session monitors an explicitly routed unidirectional path
   there may be a need to direct egress BFD peer to use a specific path
   for the reverse direction of the BFD session.  This document
   describes an extension to the MPLS Label Switched Path (LSP) echo
   request that allows a BFD system requests that the remote BFD peer
   transmits BFD control packets over the specified LSP.
