ABSTRACT:
A method for managing transport node capability information includes discovering a link end of a local transport node, modelling the local transport node's capability information as a first set of information structures, discovering a neighbor transport node, establishing a control adjacency link between control elements of the local transport node and neighbor transport node, modelling the neighbor transport node's capability information as a second set of information structures, exchanging the first and second sets of information structures between the control elements and identifying potential network layer links between the local and neighbor transport nodes, based on correlations in the first and second sets of information structures.
