> Network survivability is the ability of a network to recover traffic
> delivery following failure, or degradation of network resources.
> Survivability is critical for the delivery of guaranteed network
> services, such as those subject to strict Service Level Agreements
> (SLAs) which place maximum bounds on the length of time that services
> may be degraded or be unavailable.
>
> The Transport Profile of Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS-TP) is a
> packet-based transport technology based on the MPLS data plane which
> re-uses many aspects of the MPLS management and control planes.
>
> This document comprises a framework for the provision of
> survivability in an MPLS-TP network; it describes recovery elements,
> types, methods, and topological considerations.  To enable data-plane
> recovery, survivability may be supported by the control plane,
> management plane, and by Operations, Administration and Maintenance
> (OAM) functions.  This document describes mechanisms for recovering
> MPLS-TP Label Switched Paths (LSPs). A detailed description of
> pseudowire recovery in MPLS-TP networks is beyond the scope of this
> document.
>
> This document is a product of a joint Internet Engineering Task Force
> (IETF) / International Telecommunication Union Telecommunication
> Standardization Sector (ITU-T) effort to include an MPLS Transport
> Profile within the IETF MPLS and PWE3 architectures to support the
> capabilities and functionalities of a packet-based transport network,
> as defined by the ITU-T.
