RFC 6378: MPLS Transport Profile (MPLS-TP) Linear Protection

Still current, but amended. Parts of this document are changed or extended by RFC 7214, RFC 7271, RFC 7324. Read both.

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

This document is a product of a joint Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) / International Telecommunications Union Telecommunications Standardization Sector (ITU-T) effort to include an MPLS Transport Profile within the IETF MPLS and Pseudowire Emulation Edge-to-Edge (PWE3) architectures to support the capabilities and functionalities of a packet transport network as defined by the ITU-T. This document addresses the functionality described in the MPLS-TP Survivability Framework document (RFC 6372) and defines a protocol that may be used to fulfill the function of the Protection State Coordination for linear protection, as described in that document.
