MPLS OAM Tools for Troubleshooting MPLS Networks

Overview Increasing number of networks is migrating to MultiProtocol Label Switching (MPLS) because of the tremendous benefits it offers. At the same time, the separation of data and the control plane in MPLS introduces additional complexity in troubleshooting MPLS networks. This paper includes the following topics; Operation of the traditional ping and trace troubleshooting methods in the MPLS environment; Operation of the new MPLS Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) capabilities of Label Switched Path (LSP) Ping and LSP Traceroute; Case studies of using LSP Ping/Traceroute in troubleshooting scenarios.
