A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the Multiprotocol Label Switching Working Group of the IETF. Title : Use Cases and Requirements for MPLS-TP multi-failure protection Authors : Zhenlong Cui Rolf Winter Himanshu Shah Sam Aldrin Masahiro Daikoku Filename : draft-ietf-mpls-tp-mfp-use-case-and-requirements-00.txt Pages : 8 Date : 2016-02-01 Abstract: For the Multiprotocol Label Switching Transport Profile (MPLS-TP) linear protection capable of 1+1 and 1:1 protection has already been defined. That linear protection mechanism has not been designed for handling multiple, simultaneously occuring failures, i.e. multiple failures that affect the working and the protection entity during the same time period. In these situations currently defined protection mechanisms would fail. This document introduces use cases and requirements for mechanisms that are capable of protecting against such failures. It does not specify a multi-failure protection mechanism itself.
