IB>>Well, are they? They give you a way to signal a
requirement not to commit resources for an LSP until
further notice and also to require their commitment
when it becomes necessary. Why not to allow working
LSP to be signaled as Secondary according to the
mentioned draft? Then it would be possible even to
signal protected virtual FAs, which is not as stupid
as it may sound :=)

IB>> My point is that termination and adaptation
capabilities are separate things. For instance, the
fact that a link can terminate lambdas means the it
has certain number of available transceivers, while
the fact whether these lambdas can carry particular
tributary signals depends, say, on whether SIM cards
of appropriate type could be cross-connected to the
transceivers. In fact, link termination bandwidth is
shared between multiple adaptation functions. The
bottom line is I think it would be good idea to
advertise them separately.

IB>> And my question is why to do so, if FAs and
everything to do with VNT is about layers, including
those that start and stop in the middle of the region,
that is, far away from region boundaries? Furthermore,
when you say things like creating FA in the lower
region to carry LSP for the higher region, it is not
clear what do you mean by that in the case when the
lower region contains multiple layers.
