Thus existing signaling mechanisms must be extended appropriately to support such functionality. Recently, RSVP-TE {[}1{]} has introduced extensions to RSVP to support the establishment of LSP tunnels. This draft extends RSVP-TE to support path protection {[}2{]} in MPLS. Specifically, we provide signaling support for establishing backup LSPs and for propagating fault notification upon LSP failure.}, }
