ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for representing a label switched path. In one embodiment, a computer implemented method comprises representing a label switched path (LSP) with a data structure, the data structure indicating a virtual ingress and an identifier to distinguish the LSP from other LSPs represented with the same virtual ingress.
