Hi All,

I have following query on draft-lang-mpls-lmp.

1) If both control channel(s) (primary as well as backup) are not available, link goes into DEG state. In DEG state, how does the data channel LSP (e.g RSVP refresh) are going to be maintained? 

2) As per the draft, for verification of the link, data (test message) is need to be read over the optical component link. Why do we need this kind of capability? 

Is information gathered from power measurement and Optical Spectrum Analyzer (OSA) is not sufficient to declare link connectivity?

Is the Link verification capability in LMP is optional?
