Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes generating an aggregated pseudowire status message at a first network device in a Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) network, transmitting the aggregated pseudowire status message to a second network device on a Label Switched Path (LSP) extending between the first and second network devices in the MPLS network, and establishing at the first network device, an aggregated pseudowire status session with the second network device upon receiving a response to the aggregated pseudowire status message on the LSP. The aggregated pseudowire status message configured to verify a current status of pseudowires on the LSP. An apparatus is also disclosed.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a circuit that extends between a head-end label switching router (LSR) and a tail-end LSR and traverses one or more intermediate LSRs is locked to data plane traffic. The head-end LSR transmits a packet along the circuit that includes a particular time-to-live (TTL) value configured to expire at a particular intermediate LSR at which loopback is to occur. The circuit is used in a loopback mode. The head-end LSR transmits along the circuit a packet that includes a cease loopback request. The circuit ceases to be used in the loopback mode. The circuit is unlocked to permit the circuit to pass data plane traffic.
