IP Fast-Reroute (IP FRR) for OSPF and IS-IS prefixes

Note:

IP FRR is not supported on 7210 SAS devices. Only LDP FRR is supported. LDP FRR uses the LFA computed for IP prefixes to determine the backup path to use for LDP FEC that are installed in the MPLS tables. This section is here only for completeness of description for this feature.

This feature provides for the use of the Loop-Free Alternate (LFA) backup next-hop for forwarding in-transit and CPM generated IP packets when the primary next-hop is not available. This means that a node resumes forwarding IP packets to a destination prefix without waiting for the routing convergence.
