Hi, Tony:

We are trying to reuse the existing mechanism to solve such problem, but as 
mentioned in 
https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/lsr/kTWLct7VgEfOxexdwzwcFS3Ctqc/:

"[WAJ] Reuse the Link TLV that defined in inter-AS-TE-v2/v3 to contain such 
information is possible, but we should still to define the link type(as that in 
RFC3630) to identify the stub-link, also the prefixes related sub-TLV.  
Comparing the two different approaches, we select to define one new sub-TLV to 
contain the above information in one place together."

And as mentioned in Les, there are strict requirement for the inclusion of 
"Remote-AS", "IPv4/IPv6 Remote ASBR ID" sub-TLV in RFC5316(similar for 
RFC5292). In almost all of the inter-AS scenario(numbered inter-as links), 
these information needn't be configured and transferred.

Then redefine the new stub-link TLV is the reasonable way, it also provides the 
container for other possible information.

Hi Aijun,

> For the AS boundary use case, do you have other better solution? 


Is there some way that this could be modeled as a normal link instead of a stub 
link?  In any case, I am not responsible for coming up with a better solution. 
The onus is on you to convince us that this is a Good Thing to do.

I don’t understand this comment. I agree with Les that unnumbered links are 
important.
