Requirements
Allow TDM LSPs to be signalled to support virtual concatenation
RFC 4606 defines mechanisms if all VCG components follow the same path (i.e., a single control plane LSP)
Hardware now allows VCG components to follow different paths (i.e., separate control plane LSPs)
Need mechanisms for…
Associating LSPs to form a single group
Defining the characteristics of the group
Size of group (i.e., capacity)
Granularity of group members
Number of group members
A pre-established pool of ‘spare’ LSPs that can be added to a VCG
Determining which ports/interfaces at the egress can support the VCG
