I did an OPS-DIR review of MPLS Egress Protection Framework
(draft-ietf-mpls-egress-protection-framework) – The document describes a
protection mechanism for the egress links of an MPLS network.  The function
described looks quitter useful (at least for multi homed sites that are using
MPLS services)

I did not find any operational issues of note and consider the document ready
for publication except for one ops-related observation.  I did not see any
discussion of how a management station would be notified if a protection
circuit were to be utilized.  It seems to me that is something that a network
operation would like to know. I admit to not knowing how a network operator
knows when any of the fast reroute techniques are engaged so I may be missing
some basic fact about how MPLS networks are operated and monitored but some
words of guidance would seem to be useful or some alert function added to the
node that does the switching would be helpful
