A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : IP Fast Reroute using tunnels
Author(s) : S. Bryant, et al.
Filename : draft-bryant-ipfrr-tunnels-00.txt
Pages : 29
Date : 2004-5-20
This draft describes an IP fast re-route mechanism that provides
backup connectivity in the event of a link or router failure. In the
absence of single points of failure and asymmetric costs, the
mechanism provides complete protection against any single failure. If
perfect repair is not possible, the identity of all the unprotected
links and routers is known in advance. The draft also describes the
mechanisms needed to prevent the packet loss caused by loops which
normally occur during the reconvergence of the network following a
failure.

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.
