question on GMPLS TE flooding with OSPF



Hi,
When a node floods TE link information using OSPF, it needs to fill in the neighbor OSPF RouterID as Link ID in the Link TLV. For an optical TE link, this node discovers (e.g. using LMP) the neighbor TE Node ID, therefore it will need the mapping between the neighbor TE Node ID and the neighbor RouterID in order to be able to fill in the required information.
Is a GMPLS node expected to flood the Router TLV only, before the first TE Link is configured? If yes, I was not able to find this specified in draft-katz-yeung-ospf-traffic-06.txt or draft-ietf-ccamp-ospf-gmpls-extensions-07.txt
Or is there another mechanism in place to discover this mapping?
Same questions may be valid for IS-IS.

Thanks,
