doubts

["ramasamy ramanathan" <ramsrm@tdd.sj.nec.com>]

Hi all,

I have few doubts, could u please explain me?

For Contrl Channel Separation in GMPLS, IF_ID_RSVP_HOP object is used to
control the particlar data channel.

In case of unnumbered data links, we have unnumbered interface id
object[RFC3477] to specify the explicit path.  so when we form the
IF_ID_RSVP_HOP object we can take the router id and interface id from
unnumbered interface id subobject  of explcit route obect.

In case of numbered data links,  In explicit route object we don't have any
subobject to mention the data channel's interface address. Whatever present
in ERO object gives the control channel's interface address right? so when
we form the IF_ID_RSVP_HOP object, from where do we get the actual data
channel address along which the label has to be allocated? how to carry the
explcit route( RouterID and Data channel's address) computed by CSPF along
the PATH.

If my assumptions are wrong please correct me.

thanks
rams.
