Which capability does the MPLS TE FRR facility backup protection method provide?

The correct answer is A. creating a bypass LSP for each protected LSP at each point of local repair. The MPLS TE FRR facility backup protection method provides the capability of establishing a bypass LSP at points of local repair to redirect individual protected LSPs around failures.

Why each option

The MPLS TE FRR facility backup protection method provides the capability of establishing a bypass LSP at points of local repair to redirect individual protected LSPs around failures.

Acreating a bypass LSP for each protected LSP at each point of local repairCorrect

The MPLS TE FRR facility backup method enables local repair by establishing a bypass LSP at each point of local repair that can be used to reroute traffic for any of the multiple protected LSPs that traverse a failed link or node.

Bassigning a backup TE LSP tunnel to the protected node at the headend of the protected TE LSP

Assigning a backup TE LSP tunnel to the protected node at the headend is characteristic of an end-to-end backup solution, not the local repair mechanism of FRR.

Cleveraging label stacking to protect selected TE LSPs using a single backup TE LSP

While facility backup does leverage label stacking and typically uses a single backup TE LSP to protect multiple primary LSPs over a common failure point, option A describes the core capability of providing bypass paths at local repair points for the individual protected LSPs.

Ddefining the set of characteristics for the backup TE LSP

Defining the characteristics for a backup TE LSP is part of its configuration, not the inherent capability provided by the FRR facility backup protection method itself.
