Corrected Text

  <request>::= <RP>
                      <END-POINTS>
                      [<LSP>]
                      [<CLASSTYPE>]
                      [<LSPA>]
                      [<BANDWIDTH>]
                      [<metric-list>]
                      [<RRO>[<BANDWIDTH>]]
                      [<IRO>]
                      [<LOAD-BALANCING>]

Notes
-----
RFC 5455 defines the CLASSTYPE object and specifies that the CLASSTYPE object MUST
   be inserted after the END-POINT objects. RFC 8231 defines the LSP object and specifies that  the LSP object MUST be inserted after the END-POINTS object. Hence, it is not clear if CLASSTYPE or LSP goes after END-POINTS. Hence, to disambiguate and avoid interoperability issues, the proposal is to include the CLASSTYPE object in the updated grammar. The order would be <END-POINTS>[<LSP>][<CLASSTYPE>]
