A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 7412 Title: Requirements for MPLS Transport Profile (MPLS-TP) Shared Mesh Protection Author: Y. Weingarten, S. Aldrin, P. Pan, J. Ryoo, G. Mirsky Status: Informational Stream: IETF Date: December 2014 Mailbox: wyaacov@gmail.com, aldrin.ietf@gmail.com, ppan@infinera.com, ryoo@etri.re.kr, gregory.mirsky@ericsson.com Pages: 16 Characters: 34117 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-mpls-smp-requirements-09.txt URL: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7412.txt This document presents the basic network objectives for the behavior of Shared Mesh Protection (SMP) that are not based on control-plane support. This document provides an expansion of the basic requirements presented in RFC 5654 ("Requirements of an MPLS Transport Profile") and RFC 6372 ("MPLS Transport Profile (MPLS-TP) Survivability Framework"). This document provides requirements for any mechanism that would be used to implement SMP for MPLS-TP data paths, in networks that delegate protection switch coordination to the data plane.
