    abstract =  {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 presents the concept of Stateless MNA-based Egress Protection (SMEP). SMEP protects egress routers by providing alternative MPLS egress labels in-stack. This mechanism does not require a bypass forwarding state in PLRs. An example for the application of SMEP is given using a MPLS network action for stack management.},
