This document describes protocol specific procedures for GMPLS
(Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching) RSVP-TE (Resource
ReserVation Protocol - Traffic Engineering) signaling extensions to
support label switched path (LSP) segment protection and restoration.
These extensions are intended to complement and be consistent with
the RSVP-TE Extensions for End-to-End GMPLS Recovery (RFC 4872).
Implications and interactions with fast reroute are also addressed.
This document also updates the handling of NOTIFY_REQUEST objects.
