RFC 7110: Return Path Specified Label Switched Path (LSP) Ping

Still current, but amended. Parts of this document are changed or extended by RFC 7737. Read both.

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

This document defines extensions to the data-plane failure-detection protocol for Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Label Switched Paths (LSPs) known as "LSP ping". These extensions allow a selection of the LSP to be used for the echo reply return path. Enforcing a specific return path can be used to verify bidirectional connectivity and also increase LSP ping robustness.
