Hi Vijay,

> o (Standards Track) Protocol extensions to convey a richer set of
   attributes to allow applications to determine not only "where" 
   to connect but also "when" to connect.  Such additional information 
   will be related both to endpoints (e.g. conveying server load 
   and cache geolocation information for CDN use cases) and to 
   endpoint-to-endpoint costs (e.g. bandwidth calendaring to represent 
   time-averaged cost values in datacenter networks). (19')

This gives me a feeling that the protocol attributes extensions will only 
consider the time based attributes. But I think overlay layer path cost, i.e., 
you do not give only the source address and destination address, but also give 
the intermediate node address to retrieve the cost value for the overlay layer 
path, is also useful in some scenarios such like CDN network, and can be easily 
achieved by extending the protocol attributes.


Best Regards!
