1. Introduction
Path Segment is a type of SR segment, which is used to identify an SR
path. Path Segment in MPLS based segment routing network is defined
in [I-D.ietf-spring-mpls-path-segment].
As specified in [I-D.ietf-spring-mpls-path-segment], when a Path
Segment is used, it's inserted by the ingress node of the SR path,
and then processed by the egress node of the SR path. The Path
Segment Label is placed within the MPLS label stack as the last
segment identifier of the segment list. The Path Segment would not
be popped up until it reaches the egress node, and the egress node
would pop the path segment up.
This document provides Target Forwarding Equivalence Class (FEC)
Stack TLV definitions for Path-SIDs. Procedures for LSP Ping as
defined in [RFC8287] and [RFC8690] are applicable to Path-SIDs as
well.

2.1. Requirements Language
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
"OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP
14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
capitals, as shown here.
2.2. Terminology
This document uses the terminology defined in [RFC3031], [RFC8402],
and [RFC8029], readers are expected to be familiar with those terms.
3. Path Segment ID Sub-TLVs
Analogous to what's defined in Section 5 of [RFC8287] and Section 4
of [I-D.ietf-mpls-sr-epe-oam], three new sub-TLVs are defined for the
Target FEC Stack TLV (Type 1), the Reverse-Path Target FEC Stack TLV
(Type 16), and the Reply Path TLV (Type 21).
Sub-Type Sub-TLV Name
-------- -----------------------------
TBD1 SR Policy's Path SID
TBD2 SR Candidate Path's Path SID
TBD3 SR Segment List's Path SID
As specified in Section 2 of [I-D.ietf-spring-mpls-path-segment], a
Path Segment can be used to identify a Segment List, some or all
Segment lists in a Candidate path or an SR policy, so three different
Target FEC Stack sub-TLVs need to be defined for Path Segment ID.
When a Path Segment is used to identify an SR Policy, the Target FEC
Stack sub-TLV of the type "SR Policy's Path SID" would be used to
validate the control plane to forwarding plane synchronization for
this Path-SID; When a Path Segment is used to identify an SR
Candidate Path, the Target FEC Stack sub-TLV of the type "SR
Candidate Path's Path SID" would be used to validate the control
plane to forwarding plane synchronization for this Path-SID; When a
Path Segment is used to identify a Segment List, the Target FEC Stack
sub-TLV of the type "SR Segment List's Path SID" would be used to
validate the control plane to forwarding plane synchronization for
this Path-SID. Note that the three new Target FEC Stack sub-TLVs are
mutual exclusive and they wouldn't be present in one message
simultaneously.
3.1. SR Policy's Path SID
The format of SR Policy's Path SID sub-TLV is specified as below:

Min, et al. Expires 29 July 2024 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft LSP Ping for SR Path SID January 2024
This field identifies an SR path within the context of a candidate
path of an SR Policy, the same as "Path ID" defined in Section 4.2
of [I-D.ietf-pce-multipath], or "Segment List ID" defined in
Section 2.1 of [I-D.ietf-idr-sr-policy-seglist-id]. The segment-
list-id is a 4-octet identifier of a segment list.
4. Path-SID FEC Validation
The MPLS LSP Ping procedures may be initiated by the headend of the
Segment Routing path or a centralized topology-aware data plane
monitoring system as described in [RFC8403]. For the Path-SID, the
responder nodes that receive echo request and send echo reply MUST be
the endpoint of the Segment Routing path.
When an endpoint receives the LSP echo request packet with top FEC
being the Path-SID, it SHOULD perform validity checks on the content
of the Path-SID FEC Stack sub-TLV. The basic length check should be
performed on the received FEC.
SR Policy's Path SID
------------------
Length = 12 or 36 octets
SR Candidate Path's Path SID
------------------
Length = 40 or 64 octets
SR Segment List's Path SID
------------------
Length = 44 or 68 octets
If a malformed FEC Stack sub-TLV is received, then a return code of
1, "Malformed echo request received" as defined in [RFC8029] SHOULD
be sent. The below section augments Section 7.4 of [RFC8287].
4a. Segment Routing Path-SID Validation:
If the Label-stack-depth is 0 and the Target FEC Stack sub-TLV at
FEC-stack-depth is TBD1 (SR Policy's Path SID sub-TLV), {
- Set the Best-return-code to 10, "Mapping for this FEC is not
the given label at stack-depth <RSC>" if any below conditions
fail (the notation <RSC> refers to the Return Subcode):
o Validate that the Path Segment ID is signaled or provisioned
for the SR Policy {
Min, et al. Expires 29 July 2024 [Page 9]
