MPLS-TP Shared-Ring Protection Mechanism for Ring Topology
RFC 8227, “MPLS-TP Shared-Ring Protection Mechanism for Ring Topology”, is a Proposed Standard document published in August 2017 by W. Cheng, L. Wang, H. Li, H. van Helvoort, J. Dong. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes requirements, architecture, and solutions for MPLS-TP Shared-Ring Protection (MSRP) in a ring topology for point- to-point (P2P) services. The MSRP mechanism is described to meet the ring protection requirements as described in RFC 5654. This document defines the Ring Protection Switching (RPS) protocol that is used to coordinate the protection behavior of the nodes on an MPLS ring.
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.
