Technical Summary
The document contains updates to MPLS Transport Profile (MPLS-TP)
linear protection in Automatic Protection Switching (APS) mode
defined in RFC 7271. The updates provide rules related to the
initialization of the Protection State Coordination (PSC) Control
Logic. When PSC operates in APS mode, the state machine is part of
the control logic. The document also clarifies some operations
related to state transition table lookup.
Working Group Summary
The interest in MPLS-TP is slightly waning, however there is a
rather strong group within the working group working on the last
MPLS-TP documents. The MPLS WG is also committed to complete the
MPLS-TP project. This document has been greatly improved in the
reviews during the working group process.
Document Quality
We know of a several vendors that intend to implement this
specification, we actually expect every implementor that did
implement RFC 7271 to implement.
Several vendors have said that they will implement "as soon as it
is an RFC".
