A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 7347 Title: Pre-standard Linear Protection Switching in MPLS Transport Profile (MPLS-TP) Author: H. van Helvoort, Ed., J. Ryoo, Ed., H. Zhang, F. Huang, H. Li, A. D'Alessandro Status: Informational Stream: Independent Date: September 2014 Mailbox: huub@van-helvoort.eu, ryoo@etri.re.kr, zhanghaiyan@huawei.com, feng.huang@philips.com, lihan@chinamobile.com, alessandro.dalessandro@telecomitalia.it Pages: 32 Characters: 70158 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-zulr-mpls-tp-linear-protection-switching-12.txt URL: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7347.txt The IETF Standards Track solution for MPLS Transport Profile (MPLS-TP) Linear Protection is provided in RFCs 6378, 7271, and 7324. This document describes the pre-standard implementation of MPLS-TP Linear Protection that has been deployed by several network operators using equipment from multiple vendors. At the time of publication, these pre-standard implementations were still in operation carrying live traffic. The specified mechanism supports 1+1 unidirectional/bidirectional protection switching and 1:1 bidirectional protection switching. It is purely supported by the MPLS-TP data plane and can work without any control plane. INFORMATIONAL: This memo provides information for the Internet community.
