A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : 2547 egress PE Fast Failure Protection Author(s) : Jeyananth Minto Jeganathan Hannes Gredler Filename : draft-minto-2547-egress-node-fast-protection-01.txt Pages : 11 Date : 2012-10-22 Abstract: This document specifies a mechanism for protecting RFC2547 based VPN service against egress node failure. The mechanism enables local repair to be performed immediately upon a egress node failure. In particular, the router at point of local repair (PLR) can redirect VPN traffic to a protector to repair in the order of tens of milliseconds, achieving fast protection that is comparable to MPLS fast reroute.
