Sorry, by "worry" I mean in theory wouldn't need to use LDP. I don't know how realistic this is just yet. I run LDP + 6PE right now and yes it just does it's thing. I hope at one stage to swap that out to native v4/v6 core label distrib via SR.
The point as I understand it for TE is that for large networks that have thousands of TE transit nodes keeping track of tunnel state this won't be as much of an issue. Its a lot less complex which is nice for basic TE use.
