Perhaps the last resort for all the nodes in the network for primary/backup path computations. But I see having this additional information of link undergoing maintenance @ controller can help operator to craft a policy to use/not-to-use this path at all for certain LSPs.
I am fine with this addition of this information. -- Uma C. -----Original Message----- From: OSPF [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Pushpasis Sarkar Sent: Tuesday, September 29, 2015 9:58 PM To: Les Ginsberg (ginsberg); Shraddha Hegde; Acee Lindem (acee) Cc: Hannes Gredler; OSPF WG List; Mohan Nanduri; Jalil, Luay Subject: Re: [OSPF] OSPF Link Overload - draft-hegde-ospf-link-overload-01 Hi Les, On 9/30/15, 9:45 AM, "Les Ginsberg (ginsberg)" <[email protected]> wrote: >><Shraddha>As I indicated before, max-metric can work in most common >>scenarios but not all.

[Pushpasis] What if the operator does not want any traffic on those links at all? Should not there be a way to ensure that as well? > _______________________________________________ OSPF mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ospf _______________________________________________ OSPF mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ospf
