The MPLS WG Archive

[Kireeti Kompella <kireeti@juniper.net>]

Hi Jean-Louis,

To re-iterate my comment in the WG, in general, node protection, 
whether for p2p or p2mp LSPs, is an order of magnitude less scalable 
than link protection.

I think we should step back at this point, and request SPs and others 
deploying MPLS networks to share with the WG: frequencies of link 
failures, node software failures (node recovers), node failures 
(requires manual intervention), and battery explosions, to give us a 
sense of the importance of continuing the work on node protection.

I realize that some of these figures may be sensitive, but even 
normalized numbers may be useful.

Kireeti.
