Hi, Christian, Acee:

It seems that experts within LSR can't converged to one standard solutions, 
then how about we forward them also into experimental track, and let the 
implementation and market to select/determine?
With the experimental deployment experiences, we can get the most suitable 
solutions.

Best Regards

Yes, having worked intimately with these IGPs for > 20 years now, I understand 
the use and the implications of using summary routes. :)

My opinion remains unchanged.

Thanks,
