MP to CP handover signaling

Data Plane
Client A
Client B
Data plane circuit connecting clients A and B is in place and it is under control of NMS

MP transfers circuit related information to CP entity at circuit’s Ingress TNE

Ingress TNE formats such info into a standard GRSVP-TE setup messaging, including all details allowing for a precise description of the LSP to be created at CP level (ERO and US/DS label).

GRSVP-TE signalling targeted at MP to CP handover is a standard PATH/RESV/RESV CONFIRM LSP setup flow, where a flag in ADMINISTRATIVE STATUS is set

TNEs involved in A-B circuit process the handover signaling, creating LSP records within CP, but not taking any action over data plane, where the actual connections stay untouched
