I agree. We should be working on pure IP solutions which can also be used with LDP.

Are we also considering FRR for Ethernet/SPB? ;-) ;-) It is hop-by-hop 
distributed routing.

So I still hold on to my first email in this thread: we should be explicit in 
the charter. Writing LDP and IP specifically, unicast and multicast, ASBR 
protection, and all the things we target.


There's RSVP-TE FRR and that is clearly for explicitly routed
paths - which is clearly not hop-by-hop distributed routing.

Since an RSVP-TE LSP can be a forwarding adjacency that
appears as a link in the IGP, of course there is the
potential for an IP/LDP FRR solution to use a TE LSP as a link.
Agree, and since there is already an MPLS-only solution, I don't see to work on 
yet another (even if it's LDP).

I argue that working on an LDP-only solution is only justified if we do not find a 
full-coverage IP&LDP concept that is practical enough. (A side-note, though: 
even if the concept is the same for IP and LDP, the lower-level details will be of 
course different for the two.)
