LMP questions



Hello:
 
I have some questions regarding LMP:
 
1. What mechanism is used to automatically setup control channels b/w two nodes? Will the user or managing application update the lmpNbrTable with neighbouring nodes before a node initiates control channel setup, or is a node required to incoporate some sort of "ping" to discover noeghbours and then initiate CC setup?
 
2. Assuming that the control channels utilize an out-of-band network (such as Ethernet) will the control channel topology i.e. the physical infrastructure used to realize the CCs, match the fiber topology?
 
3. Can LMP TE links span multiple OXCs (as FA-LSPs do) or are LMP TE links only between adjacent elements?
 
4. The current LMP draft does not specify how TE links formed by LMP are updated into OSPF. Is this LMPs responsiblity or will OSPF pull this information from LMP?
