Title : PW Endpoint Fast Failure Protection Author(s) : Yimin Shen Rahul Aggarwal Wim Henderickx Filename : draft-shen-pwe3-endpoint-fast-protection-01.txt Pages : 27 Date : 2012-02-27 This document specifies a fast protection mechanism for pseudowires (PWs) against egress attachment circuit (AC) failure, egress PE failure, and switching PE failure. Designed on the basis of multi- homed CE, PW redundancy, upstream label assignment and context specific label switching, the mechanism enables local repair to be performed immediately upon a failure. In particular, the router at point of local repair (PLR) can redirect PW traffic to a protector via a bypass LSP in the order of tens of milliseconds, achieving fast protection that is comparable to RSVP fast-reroute.
