Hi, Adjusting subject to reflect topic. Wow .. I did not think this will start such a debate :) To TE or not to TE – that is the question… You guys obviously have more time on your hands than myself but feel free to continue 😉 Thanks, Acee To me this is actually very simple. Flex Algo is still IMO an SPF with additional two new factors: * You have ability to exclude links or nodes from your computation * You run traditional SPF based on any metric (static or dynamic) you can imagine Did I miss something? Yes the above will allow you to steer traffic other then based on the IGP metric, but as you all recall when we started to deploy MPLS-TE Cariden was claiming that they can accomplish TE without MPLS too by properly adjusting IGP metrics while observing traffic demands. Cheers, Robert
