on the node requires maintenance.
In traffic-engineering deployments, LSPs need to be diverted from the
link without disrupting the services. [RFC5817] describes
requirements and procedures for graceful shutdown of MPLS links. It
is useful to be able to advertise the impending maintenance activity
on the link and to have LSP re-routing policies at the ingress to
route the LSPs away from the link.
