MPLS OAM support in Segment Routing

MPLS OAM supports Segment Routing extensions to lsp-ping and lsp-trace as specified in draft-ietf-mpls-spring-lsp-ping.

Segment Routing (SR) performs both shortest path and source-based routing. When the data plane uses MPLS encapsulation, MPLS OAM tools such as lsp-ping and lsp-trace can be used to check connectivity and trace the path to any mid-point or endpoint of an SR-ISIS, a SR-OSPF shortest path tunnel, or an SR-TE LSP.

The CLI options for lsp-ping and lsp-trace are under OAM and SAA for the following types of Segment Routing tunnels:
