Robert:

The draft specifies Inter-AS links (see diagram in document).   These are not 
passive links.  The links are active for inter-AS traffic, and the BGP-LS is 
helping the controller made decisions on traffic. I believe these are not 
related to the stub-links for IGP.  We are waiting for Ketan and Aijun to 
comment.

Wouldn't passive interfaces be sufficient instead of stub-links ?

Thx,

I would think so and if the information were to advertised in OSPF or IS-IS, 
the existing TE encodings would be used.

However, this is a good question for the authors. We don't want to rehash these 
stub-links drafts under any circumstances.

Thanks,
