The document could perhaps use a slightly longer explanation of how the PE, when it receives a RSVP message, determines which L1VPN it's associated with (since apparently the RSVP messages are not necessarily sent over the CE-PE link identified by CPI/PPI, and the L1VPN is not uniquely identified by CE-CC-Addr/PE-CC-Addr).

Did you mean "it follows that"?
