RE: Doubt in draft draft-many-ccamp-gmpls-routing-00.txt

Hi Dean,
         I think the routing module should be aware of only the data
channel interfaces and not the control channels/interfaces (at least not for 
routing of GMPLS messages). There may be 2 cases where either there will be 
one-to-one mapping between the control channel and data channel or multiple 
data channel interfaces will be served by 1 common control channel. Once I 
get the information from routing module that which specific outgoing data 
channel/interface is used for resource
allocation then I can very well get the control channel where to send
the control traffic.
Initially when I configure my data channel/interfaces, I can configure
the information that which control channel/interface this data
channel/interface has to use.

Regards,
manoj.
