RFC 8271 Title: Updates to the Resource Reservation Protocol for Fast Reroute of Traffic Engineering GMPLS Label Switched Paths (LSPs) Author: M. Taillon, T. Saad, Ed., R. Gandhi, Ed., Z. Ali, M. Bhatia Status: Standards Track Stream: IETF Date: October 2017 Mailbox: mtaillon@cisco.com, tsaad@cisco.com, rgandhi@cisco.com, zali@cisco.com, manav.bhatia@nokia.com Pages: 24 Characters: 53407 Updates: RFC 4090 I-D Tag: draft-ietf-teas-gmpls-lsp-fastreroute-12.txt URL: https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc8271 DOI: 10.17487/RFC8271 This document updates the Resource Reservation Protocol - Traffic Engineering (RSVP-TE) Fast Reroute (FRR) procedures defined in RFC 4090 to support Packet Switch Capable (PSC) Generalized Multiprotocol Label Switching (GMPLS) Label Switched Paths (LSPs). These updates allow the coordination of a bidirectional bypass tunnel assignment protecting a common facility in both forward and reverse directions of a co-routed bidirectional LSP. In addition, these updates enable the redirection of bidirectional traffic onto bypass tunnels that ensure the co-routing of data paths in the forward and reverse directions after FRR and avoid RSVP soft-state timeout in the control plane. This document is a product of the Traffic Engineering Architecture and Signaling Working Group of the IETF. This is now a Proposed Standard. STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet Standards Track protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements.
