The standard definition for virtual concatenation allows each virtual concatenation components to travel over diverse paths. Within GMPLS, virtual concatenation components must travel over the same (component) link if they are part of the same LSP. This is due to the way that labels are bound to a (component) link. Note however, that the routing of components on different paths is indeed equivalent to establishing different LSPs, each one having its own route. Several LSPs can be initiated and terminated - -Mannie & Papadimitriou Editors Internet-Draft December 2002 9 - draft-ietf-ccamp-gmpls-sonet-sdh-05.txt June, 2002 - between the same nodes and their corresponding components can then be associated together (i.e. virtually concatenated).
