Designed on the basis of multi- homed CE, PW redundancy, upstream label assignment and context specific label switching, the mechanism enables local repair to be performed immediately upon a failure. In particular, the router at point of local repair (PLR) can redirect PW traffic to a protector via a bypass LSP in the order of tens of milliseconds, achieving fast protection that is comparable to RSVP fast-reroute.}, }
