Abstract:

   The MPLS ping and traceroute mechanism outlined in RFC 8029, along
   with associated extensions for Segment Routing (SR) as detailed in
   RFC 8287, serve as valuable tools for verifying control plane and
   data plane synchronization.  However, in certain environments, not
   all intermediate or transit nodes support these validation
   procedures.  A straightforward MPLS ping and traceroute mechanism
   enables traversal of any path without validating the control plane
   state.  RFC 8029 facilitates this mechanism through Nil Forwarding
   Equivalence Class (FEC).  However, challenges arise when all labels
   in the label stack utilize Nil FEC.

   This document presents a novel Type-Length-Value (TLV) as an
   extension to the existing Nil FEC.  It outlines MPLS ping and
   traceroute procedures utilizing Nil FEC with this extension to
   effectively overcome these challenges.
