Reversion
Optional mechanism due to potential second hit during to the reversion switching operation
Turn-on/-off (default behaviour settable per policy) either through signalling or policy
Reversion operation
uses exactly the same LSP as the one previously under failure (default behaviour)
implies “testing” the LSP (using Admin_Status) before reversion switching
uses the “bridge and switch” a.k.a “make-before-break”
Keep possibility (e.g. policy or signalling) to clear out the resources on intermediate nodes if reversion switching not possible
