Why? Node 2 Node1 PW (Important traffic) PW (Best effort) Tunnel-1 (BW1) Tunnel-2 (BW2), backup Tunnel-1 Switch-over Conventional mechanism (e.g. MPLS FRR) would work, if Tunnel-1 and Tunnel-2 have the same bandwidth (i.e.,BW1 = BW2) All PW’s are equally important Otherwise, if BW2 < BW1, Important traffic may get dropped/delayed during network failure PW protection: Each PW needs to have its own “importance” and QoS level During switch-over, preempt others if necessary |
