  1. Support Shared Mesh Protection in MPLS-TP IETF 83 March, 2012 Dave Allan Tae-sikCheung Ping Pan

  3. What is Shared Meshes Protection (SMP)? Key properties: • Setup protecting LSP’s ahead of time • All protection related information are pre-computed and loaded to the relevant nodes • Upon failure, use Linear Protection mechanism in switching-over traffic • SMP protocol may be required to coordinate the usage of shared resources W1 P1 P2 W2 The resources on P-Q-R is shared by multiple working LSP’s IETF 83

  4. Background • This is an important function in long-haul transport networks • Multiple parties have been working on it for a long while • There exists several drafts: • draft-allan-spme-smp-fmwk • draft-cheung-mpls-tp-mesh-protection-05 • draft-pan-shared-mesh-protection-04 • Lack of information to chart a path forward It’s to everybody’s interest to consolidate IETF 83

  5. What we have to work with • Existing Requirements: MPLS-TP Requirements (RFC5654) • [Req 68]: MPLS-TP SHOULD support 1:n (including 1:1) shared mesh recovery. • [Req 69]: MPLS-TP MUST support sharing of protection resources such that protection paths that are known not to be required concurrently can share the same resources. Which is a bit thin…. IETF 83

  6. The Plan • Framework and requirements • SMP Mechanisms and Procedures IETF 83

  7. Detail • Define requirements in substantially more detail • what is the problem (business priority not application priority) • preemption behavior • role of actors • what restrictions are unacceptable • Determine if protocol work is needed • If protocol work is needed, we will converge on a common solution IETF 80

  8. SMP Example ? Protection Segment Protection Segment • SMP mechanism coordinates the usage of all the shared resources on the protection LSPs • There could be multiple requests contenting on the same resources IETF 83

  9. Summary • Shared Mesh Protection is an important function in TP-enabled transport networks • Will work together on • Detailed requirements and framework • Subsequently, we will work on • State machine • Any necessary messaging protocols IETF 83
