Re: Fwd: GMPLS signaling (RSVP) assignment request.



Hi Lou,

I was looking over the codes you suggested, and saw that there was a 
redundancy: error code/value 24/6 and your suggested 24/13 both provide:

o "Routing problem/Unacceptable label value"

Could you clarify whether 24/13 is for something else (a cut-and-paste 
problem)? Also, for the RRO, type = 3 (label), this is a redefinition of 
the original RRO label type, and not a new type?

Thanks
Zhi
