Martin,

Within the context of notification across layers, the notification propagates from the MEP of the Locked LSP to the MEPs of the client layers. 

If the "Shutting Down" state is supported, one can "Shut down" the server LSP. The server LSP will enter the "Shutting Down" state and waiting for all the existing client services to quit. At this time, the MEP of the server LSP will notify the client layer. Action can then be taken on the client services (e.g. reroute or delete the service). 

If the "Shutting Down" state is not supported and there is no advance notification to the client layer, then the impact of "Lock" the server LSP on the supported client services is no difference than a server LSP failure. That is it will cause alarms to be raised against the client services.

Regards,
Kam
