Summary for Sub-IP Area
Summary
This document describes a mechanism that helps to minimize the
negative effects on MPLS traffic caused by LSR's control plane
restart, and specifically by the restart of its RSVP-TE component, on
LSRs that are capable of preserving the MPLS forwarding component
across the restart.
This document also describes a mechanism that helps to minimize the
negative effects on MPLS traffic caused by the disruption of the
communication channel that is used to exchange RSVP messages between
a pair of LSR, when the communication channel is separate from the
channels carrying the actual LSPs, and the channels carrying the
actual LSPs are not disrupted.

Where does it fit in the Picture of the Sub-IP Work
This work fits squarely in either MPLS or CCAMP box.
Why is it Targeted at this WG
The RSVP TE is a product of the MPLS WG. This document specifies
procedures to minimize the negative effects caused by either restart
of RSVP TE module of the control plane, or by a temporary failure of
communication channel used to exchange RSVP messages between a pair
of LSRs. Since the procedures described in this document are directly
related to RSVP TE, it would be logical to target this document at
the MPLS WG.
At the same time, since the procedures described in this document use
one of the RSVP objects defined in Generalized MPLS Signaling, and
since Generalized MPLS Signaling belongs to CCAMP, one could also say
that this document could be targeted at the CCAMP WG.
Justification
The WG should consider this document, as it allows to minimize the
negative effects caused by either restart of RSVP TE module of the
control plane, or by a temporary failure of communication channel
used to exchange RSVP messages between a pair of LSRs.
