An Algorithm for Computing IP/LDP Fast Reroute Using Maximally Redundant Trees

Overview

RFC 7811, “An Algorithm for Computing IP/LDP Fast Reroute Using Maximally Redundant Trees”, is a Proposed Standard document published in June 2016 by G. Enyedi, A. Csaszar, A. Atlas, C. Bowers, A. Gopalan. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

This document supports the solution put forth in "An Architecture for IP/LDP Fast Reroute Using Maximally Redundant Trees (MRT-FRR)" (RFC 7812) by defining the associated MRT Lowpoint algorithm that is used in the Default MRT Profile to compute both the necessary Maximally Redundant Trees with their associated next hops and the alternates to select for MRT-FRR.

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.
