7.2 Configuring LPT

LPT detects and reports link faults on the Ethernet user side or faults on an
intermediate point-to-point network.

Context
LPT enables a device to send fault information of the local link to the peer
network edge device through an LPT packet. The peer network edge device closes
the user-side interface so that the peer user device detects the fault and starts the
backup link. The two user devices communicate using the backup link.
