Zusammenfassung:	Embodiments of the present disclosure include a method and intermediate label switch router (LSR) for enabling efficient resource allocation for point to multi-point signaling. In one embodiment, upstream traffic specification information associated with a plurality of spoke nodes is received. The upstream traffic specification information is sent to a hub. Upstream flow specification information is received from the hub. The upstream flow specification information is used to allocate resources among the plurality of spoke nodes proportionally or in accordance with a resource sharing mode. A method and hub for enabling efficient resource allocation for point to multi-point signaling is also disclosed. In one embodiment, upstream traffic specification information is received from an intermediate label switch router. The upstream traffic specification information can be an upstream traffic specification list. The upstream traffic specification list is used to generate an upstream flow specification for each respective sub label switch path (sub-LSP).
