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.

Young, all

As much as I am ok with the approach of using PCEP, I am not sure what you say is always the case. I would guess that the common, straightforward source of link-state information for BGP-LS is the IGP-TE, but it does not preclude other sources, including, as per draft-ietf-idr-ls-distribution direct, static and unknown.

Also, regarding incremental updates, I don't see why they are not possible with BGP-LS, but I would need to re-read the draft again to be sure. Can an incremental update consist of a BGP update message with MP_REACH attribute listing just the descriptors of the link/node and the link state attribute just encode the TE attributes that have changed? I may be wrong, but is it stated somewhere that all TLVs need to be listed at each update?

Thanks
Ramon
