RE: Lambda LSP establishment

["Mannie, Eric" <Eric.Mannie@ebone.com>]

Hi Manoj,

The SDH/SONET draft has nothing to do with lambdas. The SDH/SONET label is
for SDH/SONET only and doesn't need to care how the TDM is transported. The
lambda LSP is at another layer. The labels between the layers are completely
independent and allocated according to the rules of each respective layer.

Kind regards,

Eric

Hi Marteen,
            The concept of FA is mentioned for SDH/SONET in gmpls-sdh
-sonet draft. It says that if u have a HOVC trail as a FA (advertized
as a link) then u can allocate the lower level signals in it by making
the higher bits of label as 0s (i.e. S and U}. This is fine for the same

technology. What about the case where the TDM LSP has to be tunneled
through 
the Lambda LSP ? What will be the form of label (i.e. {SUKLM} or lambda

etc.) ?

Regards,
manoj.
