Reliable services in MPLS.

MPLS (multiprotocol label switching) is a convergence of various implementations of IP switching using ATM-like ?label swapping? to speed up packet forwarding without changes to existing IP routing protocols. An important practical issue is the capability to recover quickly from faults. We examine d...
