Diversity of Routes Doubt

["manoj juneja" <manojkumarjuneja@hotmail.com>]

Hi All,
          The OIF-UNI draft contains diversity sub-object (part of
Generalized UNI Attribute object). There is no such object in GMPLS
drafts. In a typical scenario, where one O-UNI request has to be
converted/translated/mapped to one GMPLS (NNI) request, how to
interpret/translate the diversity TLV/object ?
Is it the responsibility of network manager to offline calculate the
ERO (and pass in the path message from the edge/ingress ONE) which
statisfies the diverstiy of the route desired by the client
equipment ? Does this mean the usage of strict routes in ERO ?
Should we be having the diversity object in GMPLS drafts also ?

Please clarify my doubt.

Regards,
manoj.
