In a distributed, constraint-based routing environment, the

information used to compute a path may be out of date.  This means

that Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) and Generalized MPLS

(GMPLS) Traffic Engineered (TE) Label Switched Path (LSP) setup

requests may be blocked by links or nodes without sufficient

resources.  Crankback is a scheme whereby setup failure information is

returned from the point of failure to allow new setup attempts to be

made avoiding the blocked resources.  Crankback can also be applied to

LSP recovery to indicate the location of the failed link or node.



This document specifies crankback signaling extensions for use in MPLS

signaling using RSVP-TE as defined in "RSVP-TE: Extensions to RSVP for

LSP Tunnels", RFC 3209, and GMPLS signaling as defined in "Generalized

Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) Signaling Functional

Description", RFC 3473.  These extensions mean that the LSP setup

request can be retried on an alternate path that detours around

blocked links or nodes.  This offers significant improvements

in the successful setup and recovery ratios for LSPs, especially in

situations where a large number of setup requests are triggered at the

same time.  [STANDARDS TRACK]



This document is a product of the Common Control and Measurement Plane

Working Group of the IETF.



This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.
