Traffic Engineering (RSVP-TE) for locally protecting the egress
node(s) of a Point-to-Point (P2P) or Point-to-Multipoint (P2MP)
Traffic Engineered (TE) Label Switched Path (LSP).

1. Introduction
[RFC4090] describes two methods for locally protecting the transit
nodes of a P2P LSP: one-to-one and facility protection. [RFC4875]
specifies how these methods can be used to protect the transit nodes
of a P2MP LSP. These documents do not discuss the procedures for
locally protecting the egress node(s) of an LSP.
This document fills that void and specifies extensions to RSVP-TE for
local protection of the egress node(s) of an LSP. "Egress node" and
"egress" are used interchangeably.
