Abstract:
   This document describes the benefits and main applications of sending
   explicit fast notification (FN) packets to routers in an area. FN
   packets are generated and processed in the dataplane, and a single FN
   service can substitute existing OAM methods for remote failure
   detection, such as a full mesh of multi-hop BFD session. The FN
   service, therefore, decreases network overhead considerable. The main
   application is fast reroute in pure IP and in IP/LDP-MPLS networks
   called IPFRR-FN. The detour paths used when IPFRR-FN is active are in
   most cases identical to those used after Interior Gateway Protocol
   (IGP) convergence. The proposed mechanism can address all single
   link, node, and SRLG failures in an area; moreover it is an efficient
   solution to protect against BGP ASBR failures as well as VPN PE
   router failures. IPFRR-FN can be a supplemental tool to provide FRR
   when LFA cannot repair a failure case, while it can be a replacement
   of existing ASBR/PE protection mechanisms by overcoming their
   scalability and complexity issues.
