Title : Fault Notification Protocol for GMPLS-Based Recovery
Author(s) : R. Rabbat et al.
Filename : draft-rabbat-fault-notification-protocol-01.txt
Pages : 15
Date : 2002-12-2
This draft describes a fault notification protocol to be used in
recovery mechanisms in GMPLS-based networks. This protocol achieves
bounded time activation of protection paths in the case of single
failures, based on constrained protection/restoration path routing
and requirements on the nodes in terms of physical capabilities,
mainly the ability to switch Label Switched Paths simultaneously and
the control plane delay characteristics. The draft proposal presents
a complete solution to the problem and justifies choices made for the
notification method, extensions required to current algorithms and
protocols, in addition to a discussion of security and deployment
issues.

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.
