Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching Recovery Functional Specification
RFC 4426, “Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching Recovery Functional Specification”, is a Proposed Standard document published in March 2006 by J. Lang, B. Rajagopalan, D. Papadimitriou. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document presents a functional description of the protocol extensions needed to support Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS)-based recovery (i.e., protection and restoration). Protocol specific formats and mechanisms will be described in companion documents. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
