look at what John Moy did in the Cascade 9000s back circa 1997
he used OSFP, of course, instead of ISIS and he did full constraint
resolution path identification along with with per-flow (aka VC)
ingress rate monitoring which allowed completely distributed load shedding
(policing) subject to a precedence lattice. once the path was identified
the only rate management was at the ingress points, and that's only per-port
state.
extending the model it to carry ethernet MAC addresses isn't very hard.
