This link doesn’t work.
[WAJ] I checked the above link again and it work from my side. Anyway, I have 
copied the key points of the above link in the following sentences.

It would seem to me that if you re-used existing TLVs, you could be adding 
subTLVs to carry any additional information.  This would probably be a lot 
cleaner.
[WAJ] Then we should update RFC5316, RFC5292, RFC3630 etc. It may also 
influence the existing deployment. 
There are also other situations that the RFC5316 and RFC5292 does not cover, 
for example, for the associated information that the edge computing wants to 
utilize etc.
Start from the clean slate will be more acceptable?
