Acee and Peter,
Thank you very much for the explanation.
My fundamental question is: What problem will be encountered when a node use
the TE information on links that RSVP-TE are not enabled?
The problem is on a node where RSVP is enabled, when it receives the
link attribute for a remote link where RSVP is not enabled.
An example where this ambiguity causes a problem is a network in
which RSVP-TE is enabled only on a subset of its links. A link
attribute is advertised for the purpose of another application (e.g.
SRTE) for a link that is not enabled for RSV-TE. As soon as the
router that is an RSVP-TE head-end sees the link attribute being
advertised for that link, it assumes RSVP-TE is enabled on that link,
even though it is not. If such RSVP-TE head-end router tries to
setup an RSVP-TE path via that link it will result in the path setup
failure.
I would think that the reason that RSVP-TE is enabled per interface is because
not every interface is capable of generating the TE information, or the Node
doesn't want to share the detailed TE information to remote nodes (for security
reasons?).
the simplest reason is that RSVP is not used on the router at all.
If SR is enabled on a node, which is capable of detecting the TE information
on the links to be advertised to remote nodes, what problems do we have when
the OSPF-TE application on remote nodes utilizes the Link TE information?
please see above.
thanks,
Peter
Thank you.

Hi Linda,
One more point...

your draft require a node to be specifically configured for each link to support
or not support SR or RSVP-TE?
the draft does not pose any new requirements in terms of how
applications are enabled.
Please note that RSVP-TE is typically enabled per interface, SRTE is
typically enabled on a per node basis.
For SR, these attributes are attributes are advertised in OSPF so that any OSPF
router or controller in the OSPF domain can make use of them to compute the SR
path.
Thanks,
Acee

a node is advertising TE related attributes for a specific link, such as
bandwidth, delay, what kind problems this node will encounter if a remote node
utilize those TE specific attributes?
the problem is when the link attributes advertise for the purpose of
application other than RSVP-TE is mistakenly used by RSVP-TE.
thanks,
Peter
