    abstract =  {The MPLS Network Action (MNA) framework provides a general mechanism for the encoding and processing of network actions and their data. The MPLS Egress Protection Framework specifies a fast reroute framework for protecting IP/MPLS services. To that, end bypass tunnels have to be signaled to the Point of Local Repair (PLR). Further, the PLR must maintain the bypass forwarding state on a per- transport-tunnel basis. This document defines the encoding for the Stateless MNA-based Egress Protection (SMEP) network action. The SMEP network action protects egress routers by providing an alternative MPLS egress label in- stack. SMEP does not require a bypass forwarding state in PLRs.},
