The embodiment of the invention nine provides a kind of network, comprises node and PCE, wherein:
Said PCE, the MERGE ability information that is used for obtaining and preserving the network node, whether the MERGE ability information instructs node of node is the MERGE node in the said network;
RX path computation requests, said path computing request indication need to calculate MP2P attribute LSP, and indication needs to calculate source node and the destination node of MP2P attribute LSP;
Calculate MP2P attribute LSP according to the MERGE ability information of node in said path computing request and the said network.
The embodiment of the invention needs to calculate MP2P attribute LSP through the path computing request indication, and indication needs to calculate source node and the destination node of MP2P attribute LSP.When source node and the destination node of indication have only one; Set up a MP2P attribute LSP, the follow-up source node that can set up other through indication is set up many different source nodes through the MP2P attribute LSP of same MERGE node to same destination node to the MP2P attribute LSP of this destination node; The source node that perhaps ought indicate has a plurality of, when destination node has one, can set up many different source nodes simultaneously through the MP2P attribute LSP of same MERGE node to same destination node.Set up the LSP state and the forwarding-table item that only need to safeguard the data after merging in the good node of many MP2P attribute LSP after the MERGE node, can reduce LSP state and the forwarding-table item that to safeguard in the network, thereby improve network extensibility.
