Abstract:
   Many MPLS implementations have supported multipath techniques and
   many MPLS deployments have used multipath techniques, particularly in
   very high bandwidth applications, such as provider IP/MPLS core
   networks.  MPLS-TP has strongly discouraged the use of multipath
   techniques.  Some degradation of MPLS-TP OAM performance cannot be
   avoided when operating over many types of multipath implementations.

   Using MPLS Entropy label, MPLS Label Switched Paths (LSPs) can be
   carried over multipath links while also providing a fully MPLS-TP
   compliant server layer for MPLS-TP LSPs.  This document describes the
   means of supporting MPLS as a server layer for MPLS-TP.  The use of
   MPLS-TP LSPs as a server layer for MPLS LSPs is also discussed.
