PE Node Protection

[scollinson]

Hi,

Does anyone know of an implemented method to provide PE Node Protection?

Failover time is key here.

Network topology has pair of PEs at each site, with each PE connected to a seperate P. The 2 PEs at each site are connected and link protection is in use today for PE-P link failures.

Thanks Steve

When you say Link Protection , iam assuming you are using MPLS TE with fast rerouting enabled. But Re Routing is quite fast ( that is my experience atleast). Maybe you could tweak your IGP timers and check. Perhaps you could elaborate your problem.

Thanks for your message.

You are correct it is FRR link protection and it is pretty quick, for a link failure.

What I am looking at is PE failure and fast recovery utilising the 2nd PE at that site.

Regards

Steve
