The IESG has received a request from the Protocols for IP Multicast WG (pim) to consider the following document: - 'Multicast-only Fast Reroute Based on Topology Independent Loop-free Alternate Fast Reroute' <draft-ietf-pim-mofrr-tilfa-05.txt> as Informational RFC
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 2024-09-23. 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 the use of Topology Independent Loop-Free Alternate (TI-LFA) mechanisms with Multicast Only Fast ReRoute (MoFRR) for Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM). TI-LFA provides fast reroute protection for unicast traffic in IP networks by precomputing backup paths that avoid potential failures. By integrating TI-LFA with MoFRR, this document extends the benefits of fast reroute mechanisms to multicast traffic, enabling enhanced resilience and minimized packet loss in multicast networks. The document outlines the necessary protocol extensions and operational considerations to implement TI-LFA in conjunction with MoFRR for PIM, ensuring that multicast traffic is rapidly rerouted in the event of a failure.
