Requirements for MPLS Transport Profile Shared Mesh Protection
RFC 7412, “Requirements for MPLS Transport Profile Shared Mesh Protection”, is an Informational document published in December 2014 by Y. Weingarten, S. Aldrin, P. Pan, J. Ryoo, G. Mirsky. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
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.
