Title: MPLS Traffic Engineering Soft Preemption
Creation_date: 2008-11-17
WG ID: mpls
Number_of_pages: 14
Abstract:
This document specifies Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Traffic
Engineering Soft Preemption, a suite of protocol modifications
extending the concept of preemption with the goal of reducing/
eliminating traffic disruption of preempted Traffic Engineering Label
Switched Paths (TE LSPs). Initially MPLS RSVP-TE was defined
supporting only immediate TE LSP displacement upon preemption. The
utilization of a reroute request notification helps more gracefully
mitigate the re-route process of preempted TE LSP. For the brief
period soft preemption is activated, reservations (though not
necessarily traffic levels) are in effect under-provisioned until the
TE LSP(s) can be re-routed. For this reason, the feature is
primarily but not exclusively interesting in MPLS enabled IP networks
with Differentiated Services and Traffic Engineering capabilities.
