A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : Use of Multipath with MPLS-TP and MPLS Author(s) : Curtis Villamizar Filename : draft-villamizar-mpls-tp-multipath-02.txt Pages : 35 Date : 2012-02-27 Many MPLS implementations have supported multipath techniques and many MPLS deployments have used multipath techniques, particularly in very high bandwidth applications, such as provider IP/MPLS core networks. MPLS-TP has discouraged the use of multipath techniques. Some degradation of MPLS-TP OAM performance cannot be avoided when operating over current high bandwidth multipath implementations. The tradeoffs involved in using multipath techniques with MPLS and MPLS-TP are described. Requirements are discussed which enable full MPLS-TP compliant LSP including full OAM capability to be carried over MPLS LSP which are traversing multipath links. Other means of supporting MPLS-TP coexisting with MPLS and multipath are discussed.
