[j-nsp] RSVP hidden routes in inet.0

Hi Misak,

I think what you're seeing is normal for protection LSPs, "dirty hack on the control plane side", but I'm looking forward to be humbled on this list that my conclusion is incorrect.

We use "ldp interface link-protection dynamic-rsvp-lsp" and for all my bypass LSPs, 'show route hidden table inet.3 detail' tells me

                Label-switched-path et-0/1/0.3402:BypassLSP->143.235.32.2
	  ...
                State: <Hidden Int ProtectionLSP>
                Inactive reason: Unusable path

I agree this is disconcerting if you are trying to get hidden routes to be zero, but there are other normal reasons for routes to be hidden such as rejection by bgp import policy.  Better IMHO to focus instead [or additionally] on " show route resolution unresolved "

-Michael
