Abstract
In an example, multi-protocol label switching traffic engineering (MPLS TE) fast reroute (FRR) is implemented in an MPLS TE network. The MPLS TE network includes a bypass protection (BP)-label switching path (LSP) protecting a working LSP. A node receives a packet from an upstream adjacent node of the node in a working LSP. The packet includes a label which is an incoming label of the working LSP at the node. When detecting a downstream adjacent node of the node in the working LSP is unreachable, the node replaces the label in the packet with an outgoing label of a WP-LSP at the node, and forwards the packet in the WP-LSP which delivers the packet to an ingress node of a BP-LSP. The BP-LSP then delivers the packet to an egress node of the BP-LSP and the packet is forwarded from the BP-SLP to the working LSP.
