CSPF group penalty for backup path

MPLS interfaces or nodes used by the bypass LSP may be part of a CSPF group. Therefore, a backup path must avoid any bypass LSPs that are using the same CSPF group as the protected interface. If the chosen bypass LSP uses the same links that are of same CSPF group as the protected interface or exclude interface, then a penalty can be added to the backup path cost.
