Sorry but this sounds really bad...
Please let me know then how do you signal protected virtual FAs?
IB>> You signal both working and protection LSPs of the FA as Secondary. At the time when you decide to make FA ?real? you re-signal working or both LSPs (depending on protection type) as Primary. Don?t see why this wouldn?t work.
