Actually, an FA TE link doesn't have to be dynamically
created/destroyed.
What's special? Nothing really. A "normal" TE link usually has a
(single) physical interface associated with it; an FA TE link is
usually multi-hop. A "normal" TE link usually is accompanied by an
IGP adjacency (at least, in the packet domain); an FA TE link usually
doesn't.
But from the point of view of the IGP, or an LSR in that IGP, they
can't tell an FA TE link from any other TE link.
