tmnxOamMplsPduTimeStampFormat 1.3.6.1.4.1.6527.3.1.2.11.5.1

The value of tmnxOamMplsPduTimeStampFormat specifies, on a system-wide basis: a) the format of the time stamp to be written into an RFC 4379 MPLS Echo Request PDU, when initiating a ping or trace route test, and b) the format of the time stamp to be written into an RFC 4379 MPLS Echo Reply PDU, when replying to an incoming MPLS Echo Request PDU, and c) the format to use when decoding the time stamps in an incoming MPLS Echo Request or MPLS Echo Reply PDU. 'rfc4379(0)' specifies the RFC 4379 time stamp format. The time stamp's 'seconds' field holds the integral number of seconds since 1-Jan-1900 00:00:00 UTC. The time stamp's 'microseconds' field contains a microseconds value in the range 0..999999. This setting is used to interoperate with network elements which are fully compliant with RFC 4379 (e.g. an SROS system with the same setting, or any other RFC 4379 compliant router). 'unix(1)' specifies the Unix time stamp format. The time stamp's 'seconds' field holds a 'Unix time', i.e. the integral number of seconds since 1-Jan-1970 00:00:00 UTC. The time stamp's 'microseconds' field contains a microseconds value in the range 0..999999. This setting is used to interoperate with network elements which send and expect a 1970-based timestamp in MPLS Echo Request/Reply PDUs (e.g. an SROS system with the same setting, or an SROS system running software earlier than R8.0 R4). Prior to SROS Release 8.0 R4, this object was not supported. The Unix time stamp format was always used. This object is applicable for the ldpTreeTrace, lspPing, lspTraceRoute, p2mpLspPing, p2mpLspTrace, vccvPing, and vccvTraceRoute test modes only.
