The IETF Standards Track solution for MPLS Transport Profile
(MPLS-TP) Linear Protection is provided in RFCs 6378, 7271, and 7324.
This document describes the pre-standard implementation of MPLS-TP
Linear Protection that has been deployed by several network operators
using equipment from multiple vendors. At the time of publication,
these pre-standard implementations were still in operation carrying
live traffic.
The specified mechanism supports 1+1 unidirectional/bidirectional
protection switching and 1:1 bidirectional protection switching. It
is purely supported by the MPLS-TP data plane and can work without
any control plane.
