Hi JL,

(You seem to be on a roll...14 IDs down, 4 to go... :-))

> A few comments related to your inter-domain pd draft
AA---> Thanks for the comments.

AA-------> True. This needs to be addressed. The procedures would require
interaction with BGP to find the ASBR exit point for the nexthop AS.

AA---------> Actually the section on Assumptions where we introduce
Auto-discovery does say that it would rely on IGP and/or BGP information.
Would you just like us to expand that to include use of local policies
in conjuction with the above information when there are sevaral downstream
candidates ?

AA----> This is what happens when drafts are merged, split, re-named; etc.
:-). One of the versions of the draft actually explained what "candidate"
meant...Well...
   This means that if the LSR has no local policy for nesting or stitching
the inter-domain LSP, then it would simply set up a contiguous LSP.
   Also, I think we need to fix the assumption that FA LSPs or LSP
segments can exist only between domain boundary LSRs. It might be the
case, but it is not necessary.

AA-----> Okay.

AA--------> I agree completely.

AA-----> That's fine. This is useful for any computation where loose hop
expansion occurs in different domains.

AA-------> I couldn't more.

thanks,

In both cases, contiguous or stiching/nesting, PCE or
