The IESG has approved the following document: - 'A Framework for IP and MPLS Fast Reroute Using Not-via Addresses' (draft-ietf-rtgwg-ipfrr-notvia-addresses-11.txt) as Informational RFC This document is the product of the Routing Area Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Adrian Farrel and Stewart Bryant. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-rtgwg-ipfrr-notvia-addresses/ Technical Summary This document presents a framework for providing fast reroute in an IP or MPLS network through encapsulation and forwarding to "not-via" addresses. The general approach described uses a single level of encapsulation and could be used to protect unicast, multicast, and LDP traffic against link, router, and shared risk group failure, regardless of network topology and metrics. The mechanisms presented in this document are purely illustrative of the general approach and do not constitute a protocol specification. The document represents a snapshot of the work of the Routing Area Working Group at the time of publication and is published as a document of record. Further work is needed before implementation or deployment. Working Group Summary: No issues. There is consensus in the WG to proceed with publication. Document Quality: The document has no substantive issues. Personnel: Alvaro Retana (aretana@cisco.com) is the Document Shepherd. Adrian Farrel (adrian@olddog.co.uk) is the Responsible Area Director
