Updates to the Resource Reservation Protocol for Fast Reroute of
Traffic Engineering GMPLS Label Switched Paths (LSPs)
Abstract
This document updates the Resource Reservation Protocol - Traffic
Engineering (RSVP-TE) Fast Reroute (FRR) procedures defined in RFC
4090 to support Packet Switch Capable (PSC) Generalized Multiprotocol
Label Switching (GMPLS) Label Switched Paths (LSPs). These updates
allow the coordination of a bidirectional bypass tunnel assignment
protecting a common facility in both forward and reverse directions
of a co-routed bidirectional LSP. In addition, these updates enable
the redirection of bidirectional traffic onto bypass tunnels that
ensure the co-routing of data paths in the forward and reverse
directions after FRR and avoid RSVP soft-state timeout in the control
plane.
