Are you sure? First, much of the TE information that we have distributed is 
static (administrative group, SRLG, etc.).  The dynamic part has been bandwidth 
reservation.  That still seems applicable to inter-AS stub links, even tho 
Aijin hasn’t articulated that yet. It does seem inevitable, again assuming I 
understand the use case.

As the draft has it, you’re correct. However, there’s all that undefined subTLV 
space just begging for TE information.  The current ‘link type’ information 
seems somewhat pointless if it isn’t intended to be a item for TE consideration.

Agreed 100%.  But it’s also what we do today with much of the static TE 
information. Again, there’s precedent.
