The functional architecture described in {[}SurvivFwk{]} is applicable to both LSP and PWs, however {[}LinearProt{]} does not explicitly describe mechanisms for PW protection in MPLS-TP. This document extends the applicability of the linear protection mechanism described in {[}LinearProt{]} to MPLS-TP segmented PWs as defined in {[}RFC6073{]}.}, }
