Hi Aijun,

True - if we keep adding opaque stuff to the IGP to limit the number of
BGP-LS sessions per area.

In my view BGP-LS should and perhaps will be replaced with a real pub-sub
mechanism sooner or later and that will be part of every edge node. Hence
trashing the IGP protocol is IMHO a wrong thing to do if the goal here is
just to export the information to the controller in the first place.

Best,
R.
