Abstract

IP Fast Reroute (IPFRR) [RFC5714] is widely deployed in IP networks to provide protection against failures by invoking locally determined repair paths. Traditional IPFRR deployments require the use of a link-state IGP to provide locally computed repair paths. This document provides the problem statement and outlines a solution to enable IPFRR computation and deployment in BGP-only networks. The solution maintains standard BGP routing operations while providing fast reroute capabilities comparable to IGP-based deployments.
