Hi Jeff,

I have a similar comment with Dhruv. I am wondering how BGP-LS packages 
together TE information. Wouldn't it require IGP-TE to give TE link-state 
information to BGP-LS speaker, then BGP-LS packages them into a summary 
TE-info? If this is the case, I am not sure how convergence time of BGP-LS can 
improve that of IGP-TE? Please correct me if my understanding is not wrong. 

Thanks,
Young

Hi Jeff,

I agree with some of the operational benefits listed for BGP, but I was 
wondering what is your thoughts w.r.t the convergence time for BGP-LS? Since 
its dependent on IGP-TE, wouldn't it suffer from the same convergence delay?
