Updates to MPLS Transport Profile Linear Protection in Automatic Protection Switching Mode
RFC 8234, “Updates to MPLS Transport Profile Linear Protection in Automatic Protection Switching Mode”, is a Proposed Standard document published in August 2017 by J. Ryoo, T. Cheung, H. van Helvoort, I. Busi, G. Wen. It updates RFC 7271. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document contains updates to MPLS Transport Profile (MPLS-TP) linear protection in Automatic Protection Switching (APS) mode defined in RFC 7271. The updates provide rules related to the initialization of the Protection State Coordination (PSC) Control Logic (in which the state machine resides) when operating in APS mode and clarify the operation related to state transition table lookup.
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.
