The grouping can then be used to define associations between a set of LSPs and/or a set of attributes (such as configuration parameters or behaviours) and is equally applicable to the active and passive modes of a stateful PCE {[}I-D.ietf-pce-stateful-pce{]} as well as a stateless PCE {[}RFC5440{]}. This document specifies a PCEP extension to bind one or more LSPs into an ECMP Associated Group.}, }
