RSVP-TE Fast Reroute (FRR) is a mechanism that provides protection switching for MPLS TE LSPs. The Point of Local Repair (PLR) will prefer to use a next-hop (NHOP) backup tunnel over a next-next-hop (NNHOP) backup tunnel when both are available. This preference is due to the fact that NHOP backup tunnels can provide faster rerouting around the failure point, minimizing traffic disruption and packet loss.
[: The information is based on the RSVP-TE FRR deployment considerations from the Implementing and Operating Cisco Service Provider Network Core Technologies (SPCOR) course materials., ]
