Hi Joel,

No not at all.

Only TE headends need this information.

To restate ... I am not asking to have a synchronized input to all routes
in the domain such that their computation would be consistent.

I am only asking for TE headends to be able to select end to end paths
based on the end to end inband telemetry data. I find this a useful
requirement missing from any of today's operational deployments.

Many thx,
R.
