Link and Node Protection and CAC

CAC cannot select or install the bypass route for a bandwidth-constrained Layer 2 circuit using an LSP that has link and node protection configured. Link and node protection is not available for these routes. If the protected LSP path goes down, even if the LSP switches to the bypass, CAC no longer uses that path for the Layer 2 circuit route. CAC reevaluates the Layer 2 circuit route and updates it either to use a different LSP or, if no LSP with sufficient bandwidth is found, the Layer 2 circuit is taken down and an error is reported.
