The IESG has received a request from the Multiprotocol Label Switching WG (mpls) to consider the following document: - 'MPLS Egress Protection Framework' <draft-ietf-mpls-egress-protection-framework-05.txt> as Proposed Standard
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the [email protected] mailing lists by 2019-06-17. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to [email protected] instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document specifies a fast reroute framework for protecting IP/ MPLS services and MPLS transport tunnels against egress node and egress link failures. For each type of egress failure, it defines the roles of point of local repair (PLR), protector, and backup egress router, and the procedures of establishing a bypass tunnel from a PLR to a protector. It describes the behaviors of these routers in handling an egress failure, including local repair on the PLR, and context based forwarding on the protector. The framework can be used to develop egress protection mechanisms to reduce traffic loss before global repair reacts to an egress failure and control plane protocols converge on the topology changes due to the egress failure.
