State: Active
Authors: Richard Rabbat, Ching-Fong Su, Vishal Sharma

The Fault Notification Protocol (FNP) is a set of procedures designed to
enable time-bounded failure notification in networks using an IP- based
control plane. This document discusses the applicability of FNP in the
context of optical transport networks. It highlights the protocol?s
principles of operation, and then describes the network, node, fault, and
operational models in optical networks for which the protocol is designed.
It also discusses the relationship to higher layers, and issues of
scalability. Some guidelines for deployment are also provided.
