OAM for L2 VPN Networks Using CFM and VCCV Olen Stokes Shane Amante Pranjal Dutta Yetik Serbest IETF 70 4 December 2007 draft-stokes-l2vpn-cfm-vccv-oam-00
Objectives • Reach working group consensus on how to utilize IEEE 802.1ag CFM and IETF VCCV in a L2 VPN environment • Allow service providers to determine if there are any additional OAM capabilities required draft-stokes-l2vpn-cfm-vccv-oam-00 Page 2
Assumptions • Must consider both full mesh VPLS and hierarchical H-VPLS environments • Must consider Ethernet and PW access networks • Adhere to existing L2 VPN standards draft-stokes-l2vpn-cfm-vccv-oam-00 Page 3
Concerns • Diagnosing VPLS forwarder problems • How do we verify the association of MACs with PWs? • Reporting detected mismatches • Is there a need to be able to reply via the control plane? draft-stokes-l2vpn-cfm-vccv-oam-00 Page 4
Potential Issues • Reference model for H-VPLS node • RFC 4664 shows a single VPLS forwarder with a single emulated LAN interface • How do point-to-point PWs connect to this reference model? • Placement of maintenance points with regards to the reference model • Inside reference model at emulated LAN interface or outside of reference model? draft-stokes-l2vpn-cfm-vccv-oam-00 Page 5
