Abstract: Techniques are described for signaling a resource reservation point-to-multipoint (P2MP) label switched path (LSP) in a ring network. For example, the techniques include sending a single resource reservation request message without the ingress needing to send multiple resource reservation request messages, one for each leaf network device of the P2MP ring LSP. The resource reservation request message includes a leaf identification object from which network devices of a P2MP ring LSP may explicitly or implicitly identify themselves as prospective leaf network devices of the P2MP ring LSP. A network device determined to be a leaf network device may send a resource reservation response message back to the ingress network device of the P2MP ring LSP and send a modified resource reservation request message (if explicit) and/or the same resource reservation request message (if implicit) to a next hop network device along the P2MP ring LSP.

The at least one networking device forwards the traffic sent by the particular node to the nodes in the identified group.

Abstract: Method for testing a radio frequency (RF) data packet signal transceiver device under test (DUT) via a wireless signal medium that enables final functional testing of a fully assembled DUT without requiring wired signal connections. System performance characteristics indicative of manufacturing assembly defects, such as defective antennas or subsystem connections, can be performed using over the air (OTA) test signals communicated wirelessly between the DUT and a tester. By using actual DUT performance characteristics determined during earlier manufacturing tests, such as receiver sensitivity and transmitter power, and known power levels available from the tester transmitter, the OTA signal path loss (i.e., attenuation of the wireless signal) can be estimated and used to confirm the final state of system operation.
