Appendix A. Examples of Group States Determination
*Example 1:
All users are managed in the same control connection.
Users {1, 2, 3} subscribe to (Group G1, EXCLUDE {}) Users {3, 4, 5} subscribe to (Group G2, EXCLUDE {})
Group states for this L2TP tunnel will be:
(G1, EXCLUDE, {}) (G2, EXCLUDE, {})
Therefore, two replication contexts will be created:
