Abstract:
   As part of the Transport Profile for Multiprotocol Label Switching
   (MPLS-TP) there is a requirement to support 1:n linear protection for
   transport paths.  This requirement is further elaborated in RFC6372
   [SurvivFwk].  The basic protocol for linear protection, specified in
   RFC6378 [LinProt], is limited to 1+1 and 1:1 protection.  This
   document extends that protocol to address the additional
   functionality necessary to support scenarios where a single
   protection path is preconfigured to provide protection of multiple
   transport paths between two joint endpoints.

   This document is a product of a joint Internet Engineering Task Force
   (IETF) / International Telecommunications Union Telecommunications
   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 transport network as
   defined by the ITU-T.
