ABSTRACT:
An embodiment includes encoding, into a resource reservation signaling message, (i) a group identifier assigned to a group of pseudo point-to-point connections established between a root node and at least one leaf node and (ii) a sub-group identifier assigned to a sub-group of pseudo point-to-point connections out of the group of pseudo point-to-point connections. The sub-group of pseudo point-to-point connections share a common network tunnel established between a previous signaling hop and a next signaling hop. The method further includes aggregating, into the resource reservation signaling message, resource reservation signaling related to the sub-group of pseudo point-to-point connections based on the group identifier and the sub-group identifier. The resource reservation signaling message is then exchanged between the previous signaling hop and the next signaling hop.
