Overview
An LSR is said saturated when it runs out of a specific control plane resource and cannot handle any new TE-LSP
Various reasons for such saturation
Memory shortage
CPU overaload
The maximum number of LSPs configured by the operator is reached

Signaling extension so that a saturated LSR can properly reject any new TE-LSP, and notify the reasons for the rejection
Routing extensions so that an LSR can advertise its control plane status (saturated or not)
Routing and signaling extensions are complementary
Used as a trigger for head-end LSRs to take appropriate actions
