Resilient MPLS Rings
draft-ietf-mpls-rmr-09
Abstract
This document describes the use of the MPLS control and data planes
on ring topologies. It describes the special nature of rings, and
proceeds to show how MPLS can be effectively used in such topologies.
It describes how MPLS rings are configured, auto-discovered and
signaled, as well as how the data plane works. Companion documents
describe the details of discovery and signaling for specific
protocols.
Requirements Language
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].
