Hey Gunter,

metric is obtained only dynamically,

It sure does.

Please notice what ASLA RFCs say up front in the abstract. ASLA is useful
for:

A) application- specific values for a given attribute

AND

B) indication of which applications are using the advertised value for a
given link.


It does not matter if the value is same or different ... what matters is
automated and consistent indication which of my applications given new
metric applies to.

I already mentioned this to Ron here:
https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/lsr/OgGLI8yezUDWU-EZePoIj6y6ENk/

Can anyone explain how do I map generic metric to selected network
applications I am to run in the network ?

Thx,
Robert.
