RE: Question about logical link in Link bundling




Hello,

I'm a bit confused by the question. If you
had a channelized OC-12 link, wouldn't you
just advertise it with suitable Min Reservable
Bw values to indicate that it can carry lower
granularity traffic? In other words, why would
you introduce the notion of a "logical" link
in this case?
