Title : Framework for MPLS-based Recovery
Author(s) : V. Sharma et al.
Filename : draft-ietf-mpls-recovery-frmwrk-00.txt
Pages : 30

Multi-protocol label switching (MPLS) [1] integrates the label
swapping forwarding paradigm with network layer routing. To deliver
reliable service, MPLS requires a set of procedures to provide
protection of the traffic carried on different paths. This requires
that the label switched routers (LSRs) support fault detection,
fault notification, and fault recovery mechanisms, and that MPLS
signaling [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] support the configuration of
recovery. With these objectives in mind, this document specifies a
framework for MPLS based recovery.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
