The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Extensions to RSVP-TE for LSP Ingress FRR Protection' (draft-ietf-teas-rsvp-ingress-protection-17.txt) as Experimental RFC This document is the product of the Traffic Engineering Architecture and Signaling Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Alvaro Retana, Martin Vigoureux and Deborah Brungard. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-teas-rsvp-ingress-protection/ Technical Summary This document describes extensions to Resource Reservation Protocol - Traffic Engineering (RSVP-TE) for locally protecting the ingress node of a Point-to-Point (P2P) or Point-to-Multipoint (P2MP) Traffic Engineered (TE) Label Switched Path (LSP). Working Group Summary This document moved from the MPLS WG to TEAS WG as part of the routing WG changes. The document was adopted by the MPLS WG in March 2014 and it has gone through several iterations since then. There was a virtual interim meeting held in January 2016 to debate the merits of the proposed solutions. There were also some issues found by the Shepherd after the WG Last Call. An informal 1-week Last Call was needed after these issues got addressed. Document Quality The base MPLS RSVP protocol has been implemented. The extensions defined in this document are compatible with earlier implementations. While there have been no public statements on implementation, the authors are from multiple vendors, and implementation is expected. Personnel Who is the Document Shepherd for this document?
