Ballot Text

Technical Summary

 Fast Reroute for RSVP-TE defines two different methods for local repair
 to reroute LSP traffic over a backup tunnel. The document defines a 
 extension which enhances the facility backup and makes it independent
 from the refresh-interval.

Working Group Summary

This is an update to RFC4090. The document went through several reviews
and updates based on the feedback. There were some concerns on adding
complexity to RSVP-TE as as protocol which were addressed during the 
discussion on the WG Mailing List.

An implementation poll has been sent to the working group list and
the Shepherd Write-Up  will be updated as we receive further
information.
