	Title		: Protection of Hierarchical LSPs

In this document, we propose two different mechanisms for protection 
of hierarchical LSPs.  We assume that an hierarchical LSP traverses a 
network that is partitioned into multiple smaller, non-overlapping 
subnetworks.  Protection of the hierarchical LSP can be realized 
through two mechanisms: 1)Subnetwork Protection and 2)End-to-end 
Protection.
