MPLS Transport Profile Linear Protection
RFC 6378, “MPLS Transport Profile Linear Protection”, is a Proposed Standard document published in October 2011 by Y. Weingarten, S. Bryant, E. Osborne, N. Sprecher, A. Fulignoli. It has since been updated by RFC 7214, RFC 7271, RFC 7324. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document is a product of a joint Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) / International Telecommunications Union Telecommunications Standardization Sector (ITU-T) effort to include an MPLS Transport Profile within the IETF MPLS and Pseudowire Emulation Edge-to-Edge (PWE3) architectures to support the capabilities and functionalities of a packet transport network as defined by the ITU-T.
This document addresses the functionality described in the MPLS-TP Survivability Framework document (RFC 6372) and defines a protocol that may be used to fulfill the function of the Protection State Coordination for linear protection, as described in that document. [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.
