Title : Use of Multipath with MPLS and MPLS-TP
Author : Curtis Villamizar
Filename : draft-ietf-mpls-multipath-use-04.txt
Pages : 15
Date : 2014-01-28
Abstract:
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 Transport Profile (MPLS-TP) has strongly discouraged
the use of multipath techniques. Some degradation of MPLS-TP
Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) performance cannot
be avoided when operating over many types of multipath
implementations.
Using MPLS Entropy Labels (RFC6790), MPLS Label Switched Paths (LSPs)
can be carried over multipath links while also providing a fully
MPLS-TP compliant server layer for MPLS-TP LSPs. This document
describes the means of supporting MPLS as a server layer for MPLS-TP.
The use of MPLS-TP LSPs as a server layer for MPLS LSPs is also
discussed.
