2002-12-03 - from Yakov

Here is the specific text to address the first comment. Insert the
following paragraph after the second paragraph in Section 4 (Link
Bundling):

  As an example consider a TE link between a pair of SONET/SDH cross
  connects, where this TE link is composed of several fibers.  In
  this case the label is a TDM time slot, and moreover, this time
  slot is significant only within a particular fiber. Thus, when
  signaling an LSP over such a TE link, one needs to specify not just
  the identity of the link, but also the identity of a particular
  fiber within that TE link, as well as a particular label (time
  slot) within that fiber.

2002-10-17 - iesg comment to WG chairs

needs to explain WHY/WHEN <id, label> is not sufficient

  As further stated in [GMPLS-ROUTING], depending on the nature of
  resources that form a particular TE link, for the purpose of GMPLS
  signaling in some cases a combination of <link identifier, label> is
  sufficient to unambiguously identify the appropriate resource used by
  an LSP. In other cases, a combination of <link identifier, label> is
  not sufficient.  Such cases are handled by using the link bundling
  construct which is described in this document.

sec cons wimpy.  e.g. could i not attack by signaling a phony
bundled link and thus overshadow a component link?
