A TLV encoding of this list of link set pairs is: The Connectivity Matrix is uniquely identified only by the
advertising node. There may be more than one matrix associated with
a node as the node can partition the switch matrix into several sub-
matrices for various reasons such as incremental updates, etc. When
the matrix is partitioned into sub-matrices, it is envisioned that
they are mutually exclusive to one another in representing which
ports/labels are associated with each sub-matrix. This implies that
two matrices will not have the same {sr port, src label, sdt port,
dst label}.
