Abstract
This document presents an applicability of existing MPLS protectionmechanisms, both local and end-to-end, to the MPLS Transport Profile(MPLS-TP) in ring topologies. This document does not propose any newmechanisms or protocols. Requirements for MPLS-TP protectionespecially for protection in ring topologies are discussed in"Requirements of an MPLS Transport Profile" (RFC 5654) and "MPLS Transport Profile (MPLS-TP) Survivability Framework" (RFC 6372).This document discusses how most of the requirements are met byapplying linear protection as defined in RFC 6378 in a ring topology.
