TL;DR: In this paper, a path verification protocol (PVP) enumerates a series of messages sent to a set of nodes, or routers, along a suspected path, identifies forwarding plane problems for effecting changes at the control plane level.
Patent
Method and apparatus for packet loss detection
TL;DR: In this article, a packet loss and detection mechanism periodically exchanges traffic packet counts to maintain an accurate diagnosis of the pseudowire health from either endpoint, and the raw packet counts are analyzed to identify misrouted and lost packets.
Patent
System and methods for providing a network path verification protocol
TL;DR: A path verification protocol (PVP) as mentioned in this paper enumerates a series of messages sent to a set of nodes, or routers, along a network path identifies connectivity and transmission characteristic attributes by defining, implementing, and analyzing path verification messages (PVMs) in a VPN environment.
Patent
Consistency between MPLS forwarding and control planes
TL;DR: In this paper, the control plane can be made aware of forwarding plane anomalies and can respond appropriately, for example, rerouting the backup tunnel and/or sending a notification to the operator or head-end of the protected Traffic Engineering LSP.
Patent
System and methods for sending trace messages
TL;DR: In this article, a traceroute message includes an accumulator operable to count hops along a MH-PW, implemented as a time-to-live (TTL) field, as is known in the art.
