Abstract
This document defines a common terminology for Generalized Multi-
Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS)-based recovery mechanisms (i.e.,
protection and restoration). The terminology is independent of the
underlying transport technologies covered by GMPLS.

RFC 4427 GMPLS Recovery Terminology March 2006
1. Introduction
This document defines a common terminology for Generalized Multi-
Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS)-based recovery mechanisms (i.e.,
protection and restoration).
The terminology proposed in this document is independent of the
underlying transport technologies and borrows from the G.808.1 ITU-T
Recommendation [G.808.1] and from the G.841 ITU-T Recommendation
[G.841]. The restoration terminology and concepts have been gathered
