Loopback Message and Response
Loopback Message and Response (LBM, LBR), also called Layer 2 Ping, is an administrative echo
transmitted by MEPs to verify reachability to another MEP or MIP within the maintenance domain. LBM
and LBR are unicast frames.
Linktrace Message and Response
Linktrace Message and Response (LTM, LTR), also called Layer 2 Traceroute, is an administratively sent
multicast frames transmitted by MEPs to track, hop-by-hop, the path to another MEP or MIP within the
maintenance domain. All MEPs and MIPs in the same domain respond to an LTM with a unicast LTR.
Intermediate MIPs forward the LTM toward the target MEP.
