Title: IP Fast Reroute Framework
State: Active

This document provides a framework for the development of IP fast-reroute
mechanisms which provide protection against link or router failure by
invoking locally determined repair paths. Unlike MPLS Fast-reroute, the
mechanisms are applicable to a network employing conventional IP routing
and forwarding. An essential part of such mechanisms is the prevention of
packet loss caused by the loops which normally occur during the
re-convergence of the network following a failure.
