The IESG has received a request from the Multiprotocol Label Switching WG (mpls) to consider the following document: - 'Shared-Ring protection (MSRP) mechanism for ring topology' <draft-ietf-mpls-tp-shared-ring-protection-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 ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2017-05-12. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document describes requirements, architecture and solutions for MPLS-TP Shared Ring Protection (MSRP) in a ring topology for point- to-point (P2P) services. The MSRP mechanism is described to meet the ring protection requirements as described in RFC 5654. This document defines the Ring Protection Switch (RPS) Protocol that is used to coordinate the protection behavior of the nodes on MPLS ring.
