Hello Sasha,

You are probably referring to G.8131.

FYI: G.8131 is based on and in line with the RFCs you mention.
G.8131 was published after these RFC were published, there were
liaisons exchanged to align the progress of this work.

Best regards, Huub.

And since ITU-T now plans to approve revisions to its own standard pertaining to linear protection of LSPs, it makes sense to ask for some clarifications, mainly if a revision process of, say. 7121 should be initiated to mact the changes in G.8113.
