Explicit routing of network traffic over RPR rings using MPLS signaling techniques, including unnumbered links. A modified LSP_TUNNEL_INTERFACE_ID object is provided with a RPR IP address instead of the conventional LSR Router ID, and with a direction indicator in place of the conventional interface ID. A novel subobject is included in the ERO and RRO, which holds the RPR IP address of the sending node in place of the conventional router ID, and a direction indicator in place of the conventional interface ID. The network nodes inspect the directional indicator that is received in a path message or a Resv message to determine the direction in which traffic is to be sent and received in an explicit route.
