There are many deployment scenarios that require an egress Label
Switching Router (LSR) to receive binding of the Resource
Reservation Protocol - Traffic Engineering (RSVP-TE) Label Switched
Path (LSP) to an application and a payload identifier using
some "out-of-band" (OOB) mechanism.  This document defines
protocol mechanisms to address this requirement.  The procedures
described in this document are equally applicable for point-to-point (P2P)
and point-to-multipoint (P2MP) LSPs.  [STANDARDS-TRACK]
