SR Extensions for LSP Ping and LSP Traceroute

This section describes how MPLS OAM models the SR tunnel types.

An SR shortest path tunnel, SR-ISIS tunnel, or SR-OSPF tunnel uses a single FEC element in the target FEC stack TLV. The FEC corresponds to the prefix of the SID in a specific IGP instance.

Figure: IPv4 IGP prefix SID shows the format for the IPv4 IGP prefix SID.

The fields are defined as follows:

Figure: IPv6 IGP prefix SID shows the format for the IPv6 IGP prefix SID.

The fields are defined as follows:

As a hierarchical LSP, an SR-TE LSP uses the target FEC stack TLV, which contains a FEC element for each node SID and each adjacency SID in the path of the SR-TE LSP. Because the SR-TE LSP does not instantiate a state in the LSR other than the ingress LSR, MPLS OAM tests a hierarchy of node SID and adjacency SID segments toward the destination of the SR-TE LSP. Figure: IPv6 IGP prefix SID shows the format for the node SID. Figure: IGP Adjacency SID shows the format for the IGP Adjacency SID.

The fields are defined as follows:

Both lsp-ping and lsp-trace apply to the following contexts:
