This is the complete configuration used in Link-protection and node-link-protection on Juniper MX and several other articles. The routers in the topology drawing are all logical systems.

The routers are running IS-IS. All interfaces are MPLS and RSVP-enabled. Under the RSVP configuration, there are also the ‘aggregate’ and the ‘reliable’ statement. These were not discussed and they are not necessary for link-protection or node-link-protection. These two statements simply reduce RSVP refresh and enable reliable delivery.

There is also an L2circuit defined (and working) between Commodus and Tiberius.
