LEC to LES assignment | The algorithm according to which the LECS decides |
| which LES’s address to give a LEC. This is only used |
| if the registration type is set to distributed. |
| • By Longest - The LECS supplies the LES |
| address that best matches the ATM address of |
| the LEC. |
| • By Equal (Round Robin) - The LEC is |
| assigned to the next distributed LES address in |
| sequence (each distributed LES is used in turn). |
| This is also known as Round Robin. |
| • By Group - Each distributed LES on the ELAN |
| is assigned a group address. It is this address that |
| is returned to every LEC by the LECS. When |
| this option is selected, you must supply the |
| Group LES Address, a 20 byte unique address. |
