To correctly establish a GMPLS LSP from an ingress to an egress, a possible combination of GMPLS attributes is investigated.
Assumption for the simplicity
Switching capability (SC) must be consistent from an ingress node to an egress node [smaller switching granularity at ingress/egress nodes].
Switching capability of transit nodes must be consistent with switching capability of a LSP to be created (not multi-layer).
Encoding-type must be consistent along a route to be established.
