Unsignalled backup lsp

Hi,

The unsignalled backup LSP is that described in the
draft-swallow-rsvp-bypass-label-01.txt. 
Basically, a bypass tunnel which goes to the appropriate merge node is
created, based upon a CSPF computation.  Depending upon the possible
implementations, that bypass tunnel could have been statically configured
or created dynamically when the need for one arose.

Once a bypass tunnel exists, the unsignalled backup LSP can be created once
the label record sub-object in the RRO from the merge node has been
received at the PLR.  Only local configuration at the PLR is necessary to
create the unsignalled backup LSP; no RSVP signalling is necessary.

Hope this helps,
Alia Atlas
