This document provides an expansion of the basic requirements presented in RFC 5654 (\"Requirements of an MPLS Transport Profile\") and RFC 6372 (\"MPLS Transport Profile (MPLS-TP) Survivability Framework\").  This document provides requirements for any mechanism that would be used to implement SMP for MPLS-TP data paths, in networks that delegate protection switch coordination to the data plane.",
