Hi.

Associating multiple algorithms with a given prefix is an interesting topic, 
and I think this can simplify the complexity of FlexAlgo. I wonder if the 
author would consider using cases with multiple algorithms with a given prefix.

Thanks

Ron,

This is nice. It makes it clear that constraint based path computation need not 
have MPLS overhead for those that don’t want it.

One thing that you don’t talk about is how this gets used, tho that may be 
blindingly obvious: you’ll need all nodes placing their prefixes in the 
RIB/FIB, where it will need to be selected over other path computation for the 
same prefixes.  This somewhat precludes the possibility of a given prefix being 
useful in multiple flex-algos.

More text on application would be most welcome, just to ensure that we’re on 
the same page.

Tony
