Will reword the following:

"As with all other RSVP controlled LSPs, P2MP LSP state is managed
   using RSVP messages. While use of RSVP messages is the same, P2MP LSP
   state differs from P2P LSP state in a number of ways. The two most
   notable differences are that a P2MP LSP comprises multiple S2L Sub-
   LSPs and that, as a result of this, it may not be possible to
   represent full state in a single IP packet and even more likely that
   it can't fit into a single IP packet. It must also be possible to
   efficiently add and remove endpoints to and from P2MP TE LSPs. An
   additional issue is that the P2MP LSP must also handle the state
   "remerge" problem, see [RFC4461]."

The editors will request a specific bit.

No. Thanks for catching it. Will remove it.
