OLD DOG CONSULTING Why use Fast Reroute (FRR) in Packet Networks? • Protect close to the fault to minimize fault propagation times• Best-effort recovery pending end-to-end rerouting• Applicable to all MPLS traffic (RSVP-TE and LDP) MPLS FRR Features • Protection LSPs locally computed or pre-planned• Resources guaranteed, shared, or best-effort• Protected traffic filtered by priority• FRR requires knowledge of “exit label” Facility Backup Issues in Optical Networks • LSP nesting not possible in homogeneous networks• Labels are synonymous with resources• Statistical multiplexing can’t be done• Best-effort traffic delivery doesn’t make sense One-to-One FRR Optical Fast RerouteAdrian Farrel : Old Dog Consulting
