Handling of Control Packets

All control plane packets that require an RTM lookup and whose destination is reachable over the RSVP shortcut are forwarded over the shortcut. This is because RTM keeps a single route entry for each prefix unless there is ECMP over different outgoing interfaces.

Interface bound control packets are not impacted by the RSVP shortcut because RSVP LSPs with a destination address different than the router-id are not included by IGP in its SPF calculation.
