Abstract
A mechanism and method for efficient endpoint discriminator allocation for APS protected MLPPP bundles on distributed routing systems, including one or more of the following: specifying working and protection MLPPP bundles; retrieving an endpoint discriminator for the working bundle and updating an endpoint discriminator of the protection bundle based on same; specifying MLPPP operating parameters for the bundles; associating the bundles with an APS circuit; adding links and corresponding discriminators in an LCP between a near end bundle and a far end bundle; bringing up an MLPPP session; and adding links between bundles upon an APS switchover.
