Dear All

 

Current draft-tissa-till-oam utilize ICMP extensions defined in RFC
4884. I have also heard preference of using UDP based messaging channel
defined in RFC 4379.

 

Advantage of using RFC 4379 methods is we can utilize the same framework
and OAM challenges in TRILL and MPLS world are similar. However, we need
to define new TLV series and message types. Question arise whether we
should use the same wellknown UDP port used in MPLS OAM or a use a
different UDP port.

 

Advantage of ICMP method is we are utilizing the ICMP infrastructure
that is commonly utilized in IP world. However, we need to define RFC
4884 extensions and it also heavily depends on acceptance of individual
submission draft-shen-traceroute-ping-ext-04.

 

Would like to see the preference from the WG on specific method over the
other ?

 

Thanks

Tissa
