Abstract:
Consider a BGP free core scenario. Suppose the edge BGP speakers PE1,
PE2,..., PEn know about a prefix P/m via the external routers CE1,
CE2,..., CEm.  If the edge router PEi crashes or becomes totally
disconnected from the core, it is desirable for a core router "P"
carrying traffic to the failed edge router PEi to immediately restore
traffic by re-tunneling packets originally tunneled to PEi and
destined to the prefix P/m to one of the other edge routers that
advertised P/m, say PEj, until BGP re-converges. This draft proposes
a BGP FRR scheme that relies on having the repairing edge router
mirror the protected edge router forwarding table. The repairing edge
router uses a locally allocated context label to identify the correct
mirrored table.
