This is an expansion of the basic requirements presented in RFC 5654 "Requirements for the Transport Profile of MPLS" 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.}, }
