"IP Fast Reroute Framework", Mike Shand, Stewart Bryant, 29-Jun-09. ( bytes)

This document provides a framework for the development of IP fast- reroute mechanisms which provide protection against link or router failure by invoking locally determined repair paths. Unlike MPLS fast-reroute, the mechanisms are applicable to a network employing conventional IP routing and forwarding.

"IP Fast Reroute Using Not-via Addresses", Mike Shand, Stewart Bryant, Stefano Previdi, 10-Jul-09. ( bytes)

This draft describes a mechanism that provides fast reroute in an IP network through encapsulation to "not-via" addresses. A single level of encapsulation is used. The mechanism protects unicast, multicast and LDP traffic against link, router and shared risk group failure, regardless of network topology and metrics.

"A Framework for Loop-free Convergence", Mike Shand, Stewart Bryant, 29-Jun-09. ( bytes)

This draft describes mechanisms that may be used to prevent or to suppress the formation of micro-loops when an IP or MPLS network undergoes topology change due to failure, repair or management action.
