Tunnel identification
New Session C-Type <Dest_Address>, <Tunnel ID>, <Extended_Tunnel_ID> Semantics are that the complete filter specification is the Label Extended Tunnel ID can be used to scope session to a single source router (i.e. ensure globally unique tunnel identification)
LABEL object
Carries selected label value

Path : ERO (R1->R2->R6->R7->R4->R9) Tunnel ID 5, LSP_ID 1 Resv: Communicates labels and Establishes label Operations Reserves bandwidth on each link

Resv: Allocates labels for both paths Reserves bandwidth once per link
PathTear Can then be sent to remove old path (and release resources)

Possible approaches
Aggregate refresh messages verbatim
Decreases packet processing overhead Provides substantial improvement Trivial modification Requires a capability bit
LSP merging
Merging: multi-point to point LSPs Work in progress Automatic merging of compatible LSPs
e.g. same ERO
Merging is voluntary - can disable Sources initiate LSPs, control compatibility Input welcome
