                |  | Exploring protection and restoration  mechanisms that are well suited to IP/MPLS traffic and applications.  While a number of techniques are explored, the primary focus is on a  novel approach to shared mesh restoration. This approach utilizes RSVP  signaling, SLRG awareness, and stateful PCE (Path Computation Element). Each  element of the system and their orchestration is examined.
