ID Summary

SUMMARY

This document addresses an open issue in providing  Diffserv 
Traffic Engineering  solution  using E-LSP.  The proposal 
outlines methods to signal bandwidth requirements for multiple 
OAs  when  setting  up  E-LSPs.

WHERE DOES IT FIT IN THE PICTURE OF SUB-IP WORK

WHY IS IT TARGETED AT THIS WG

This document describes Diffserv  Traffic  Engineering 
possibilities using E-LSP.

JUSTIFICATION

Current Diffserv Traffic Engineering solutions are restricted
to  L- LSP  or  E-LSPs  which  carry  only  a single Ordered
Aggregate (OA). There is a clear need to extend  these  DS-TE
solutions  to  include carrying  of  multiple OAs per E-LSP. 
This document proposes possible alternatives to address this.
