I agree this is an option. How would you control the traffic flow if one link goes down? The APS configuration on the router relies on communication between the router and the ADM. with in the configuration of the router you would label and assign groups to the interface configuration. This would tell the router/interface to respond accordingly when the circuit switches from working to protect. This occurs automatically (most of the most of the time) Are you proposing using some sort of routing mechanism to shift the traffic or will there be intelligence build in to the ADM that would allow the router to switch automatically?
