Hi Lucy,
The association object is used to associate components of a
VCG that are
already diversely routed in the draft, I would think
diverse routing is more a
feature of path computation than the signaling to set up
the component.
What the association object does is allow you to tell what
LSPs arriving at
the destination are part of the same
VCG.
Cheers,

meeting. I have a question about association object used to associate the
diversely routed LSPs. If a LSP is established first, say
LSP1, then another LSP (say LSP2) needs to be established and be diversely
routed from LSP1, how association object is applied in this case? It is easy to
use in the latter LSP request, however, how does LSP1 know that it needs to
diverse from LSP2. What is the relationship between
this association object and diversity object in
GMPLS. Best
