RSVP-TE [RSVPTE] can signal explicit paths with loose or strict hops in a
MPLS network. Using loose hops can shorten the ERO, but can not reduce the
overhead associated with an RSVP signaled LSP since path states are still
created on every hop along the path. In this paper, we propose a mechanism
that can reduce the signaling and maintenance overhead associated with
loose hops in an RSVP signaled LSP in an LDP enabled network. The mechanism
can also be generalized to work with other tunneling technologies such as
GRE or IP-in-IP.
