Title: Detecting Data Plane Failures in Point-to-Multipoint MPLS Traffic Engineering - Extensions to LSP Ping

Recent proposals have extended the scope of Multi-Protocol Label Switching
(MPLS) traffic engineered Label Switched Paths (TE LSPs) to encompass
point-to-multipoint (P2MP) TE LSPs. The requirement for a simple and
efficient mechanism that can be used to detect data plane failures in
point-to-point (P2P) MPLS LSPs has been recognized and has led to the
development of techniques for fault detection and isolation commonly
referred to as "LSP Ping" [LSP-PING]. This documents does not replace any
of the mechanism of LSP Ping, but clarifies their applicability to P2MP
MPLS TE LSPs, and extends the techniques and mechanisms of LSP Ping to the
P2MP TE environment.
