[mpls] Fwd: I-D Action: draft-zulr-mpls-tp-linear-protection-switching-09.txt

Dear WG chairs,

The authors of draft-zulr-mpls-tp-linear-protection-switching
have decided to publish the document on the independent stream
as an informational RFC.

Because it documents the pre-standard implementation of MPLS-TP
linear protection that has been deployed by several network
operators using equipment from multiple vendors.
At the time of publication these pre-standard implementations
were still in operation carrying live traffic.

Best regards, Huub van Helvoort.

Abstract:
    The IETF Standards Track solution for MPLS Transport Profile (MPLS-
    TP) Linear Protection is provided in RFC 6378, draft-ietf-mpls-psc-
    updates and draft-ietf- mpls-tp-psc-itu.

    This document describes the pre-standard implementation of MPLS-TP
    Linear Protection that has been deployed by several network operators
    using equipment from multiple vendors.  At the time of publication
    these pre-standard implementations were still in operation carrying
    live traffic."

    The specified mechanism supports 1+1 unidirectional/bidirectional
    protection switching and 1:1 bidirectional protection switching.  It
    is purely supported by MPLS-TP data plane, and can work without any
    control plane.

    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.

    [Editor's note] To be included in "Status of Memo": This document is
    not an Internet Standards Track specification; it is published for
    informational purposes.
