Title: Loop-Free Alternates for IP/LDP Local Protection
State: Active
Authors: Alia Atlas

This document defines an architecture and selection process for providing
local protection for IP unicast and/or LDP traffic in the event of a single
link or node failure until the router has converged. When computing the
primary next-hop for a prefix, a router S also determines an alternate
next-hop which can be used if the primary next-hop fails. The alternate
next-hop is said to be a loop-free alternate, which goes to a neighbor
whose shortest path to the prefix does not go back through the router S.
