Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method, an apparatus, and a system for detecting a multi-protocol label switching ring network. The method includes: initiating, by a ring ingress node, a detection request packet; determining a ring label switched path LSP forwarding equivalence class FEC corresponding to the detection request packet, and encapsulating the ring LSP FEC into the detection request packet; sending the detection request packet after encapsulation to a ring egress node; and determining whether a detection reply packet sent by the ring egress node is received; if yes, determining that the ring LSP is connected; otherwise, determining that the ring LSP is not connected. Therefore, the embodiments of the present invention are able to directly detect connectivity of a ring LSP, solving the problem in the prior art where an interference exists during detection of the ring LSP connectivity.
