Such functionality has been listed as a clear requirement in [INTER-AREA-TE-REQS] and [INTER-AS-TE-REQS]. This document specifies the use of existing RRO IPv4 and IPv6 subobjects (with a new flag defined) to define the node-id subobject in order to solve this issue. Note that the MPLS Fast reroute mechanism mentioned in this document refers to the "Facility backup" MPLS TE Fast Reroute method. Table of content -1.
