Technical Summary
A solution for IP and LDP Fast-Reroute using Maximally Redundant
Trees is presented in draft-ietf-rtgwg-mrt-frr-architecture. This
document defines the associated MRT Lowpoint algorithm that is used
in the Default MRT profile to compute both the necessary Maximally
Redundant Trees with their associated next-hops and the alternates to
select for MRT-FRR.
Working Group Summary
The WG thoroughly reviewed the document and no outstanding technical
issues remain.
Both WG Chairs and the AD assigned to this WG are involved in the work,
so the Responsible AD (listed below), aided by the Document Shepherd,
conducted the WGLC.
Document Quality
There are existing implementations and multiple vendors have
shown significant interest in the topic. Furthermore, IEEE 802.1Qca
relies on MRT, and in particular on the MRT Lowpoint Algorithm
specified by this document, for providing redundancy based on
maximally diverse trees.

RFC Editor Note
This document and draft-ietf-rtgwg-mrt-frr-architecture should be published together (consecutive RFC numbers would be nice, but not necessary).
