Abstract
When using Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) Label Switched Paths (LSP) on a ring topology, it is needed to minimize the labels for protection purpose and minimize the configuration effort. Though MPLS Fast Re-Route [MPLS-FRR] can achieve automatic LSP service protection, it is not optimized as many labels are used to create lots of detour LSPs. This document describes a MPLS ring mechanism and some extensions on signaling protocol to facilitate the establishment of Label Switched Paths (LSPs) using Label Distribution Protocol [LDP] or RSVP-TE protocol [RSVP-TE] to achieve automated link and node protection.
