Fast Reroute, Node Protection, and Link Protection
RFC 4090, Fast Reroute Extensions to RSVP-TE for LSP Tunnels, describes two different types of traffic protection for RSVP-signaled LSPs:
- One-to-one backup—In the Junos OS this type of traffic protection is provided by fast reroute. Each LSP requires a protecting LSP to be signaled at each hop except the egress router. This protecting LSP cannot be shared.
- Facility backup—This is sometimes called many-to-one backup. In the Junos OS this type of traffic protection is provided by node and link protection. Each LSP requires a protecting LSP to be signaled at each hop except the egress router. Unlike fast reroute, this protecting LSP can be shared by other LSPs.
Table 1 summarizes the traffic protection types.
