Point-to-Point Mapping Conﬁguration

There may be multiple routes to a destination node; if the routes are

through different adjacent nodes, a mapping may be conﬁgured for each

of them. For example, Figure 6-14 shows a point-to-point network that

could have eight mappings conﬁgured for node A.

Figure 6-14 Conﬁgured Mapping

If node A is the node being conﬁgured, mappings are needed for routes

to both node B and node C, and for routes through nodes B and C to any

other node. Mapping could be conﬁgured for each of the following routes

(the rightmost node in these sets is the destination node):

Routes to adjacent nodes:

A–B (uses Link 1)

A–C (uses Link 3)

Routes to non-adjacent nodes through B:

A–B–D (uses Link 1)

A–B–D–E (uses Link 1)

Routes to non-adjacent nodes through C:

A–C–D (uses Link 3)

A–C–E (uses Link 3)

Alternate routes to adjacent nodes:

A–C–D–B (uses Link 3)

A–B–D–C (uses Link 1)
