Multi-Chassis Passive Optical Network Protection in MPLS
RFC 8024, “Multi-Chassis Passive Optical Network Protection in MPLS”, is a Proposed Standard document published in November 2016 by Y. Jiang, Y. Luo, E. Mallette, Y. Shen, W. Cheng. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is being extended to the edge of operator networks including the network access nodes. Separately, network access nodes such as Passive Optical Network (PON) Optical Line Terminations (OLTs) have evolved to support first-mile access protection, where one or more physical OLTs provide first-mile diversity to the customer edge. Multihoming support is needed on the MPLS-enabled PON OLT to provide resiliency for provided services. This document describes the Multi-Chassis PON (MC-PON) protection architecture in MPLS and also specifies the Inter-Chassis Communication Protocol (ICCP) extension to support it.
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.
