Need for hierarchical SONET/SDH LSPs.



Hi,
Can I have a SONET/SDH LSP that passes through a SONET ADM as its transit LSR??
Consider a situation as shown below -
 
A---------------B---------------C
 
The link A-B is a STS-12 link, B does a byte-interleaved multiplexing of 4 STS-12 and forms a STS-48, thus B-C is STS-48.
Can a LSP for unstructured VC-4 be setup with A as ingress, B as transit and C as the egress??
As per the draft "Framework for GMPLS based control of SONET/SDH networks" the frames are not labeled instead it is the flow that is being labelled. It also mentions that tunnels should be used when switching from a different signal level i.e VC-12 to VC-4.
With this in mind, I would assume that a LSP as mentioned should be possible, because the signal type remains same i.e VC-4 even the frames get interleaved from STS-12 to STS-48.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
 
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Vinay
