RE: association object



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,
 
Lyndon

Subject: association object

Richard,

 

It was nice to meet you in IETF 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 Regards,

Lucy
