Thanks.
JP.
The provider already has the necessary tools that can be used to
accomplish this. If a general purpose tool (attributes and
affinities) is available which accomplishes something a special
purpose tool to accomplish the same thing is not needed.
Such a tool would only be useful if the administration of the MPLS
midpoint (where the attribute is set) had no control over the
administration of the MPLS ingress or a border that is doing route
computation (where the affinity is set). I don't see any anticipated
real world deployment that would benefit from this. If you do, then
please explain the deployment scenario.
not sure to see your point here ... I was mentioning that the aim of
this TLV was not to avoid some links.
Looks like you're saying the same thing.
JP.
