Abstract
A router receives a control plane message for constructing a first LSP to a destination within a network that conforms to a first type of LSP. The control plane message includes a label for the first LSP and an identifier that identifies a first type of data traffic. The router receives a second control plane message for constructing a second LSP that conforms to the first type of LSP. The second control plane message includes a label for the second LSP and an identifier that identifies a second type of data traffic. The router installs forwarding state in accordance with policies that associate the first and second types of data traffic with different LSPs of a second type that each traverse different paths through the network, and forwards packets via the interface in accordance with the installed forwarding state.
