Re: [RRG] Traffic engineering

Iljitsch,
After reading all this talk about traffic engineering, I thought this group may be interested in the draft I'll be presenting in the IDR session:
The following drafts that will be discussed within the shim6 working group are also relevant for the discussion on traffic engineering form the viewpoint of multihomed sites in particular 

  Title           : The case for an informed path selection service
     Author(s)       : O. Bonaventure, D. Saucez, B. Donnet
     Filename        : draft-bonaventure-informed-path-selection-00.txt

With today's peer-to-peer applications, more and more content is
available from multiple sources.  In tomorrow's Internet hosts will
have multiple paths to reach one destination host with the deployment
of dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 hosts, but also with new techniques such as
shim6 or other locator/identifier mechanisms being discussed within
the IRTF RRG.  All these hosts will need to rank paths in order to
select the best paths to reach a given destination/content.  In this
draft, we propose an informed path selection service that would be
queried by hosts and would rank paths based on policies and
performance metrics defined by the network operator to meet his
traffic engineering objectives.  A companion document describes a
protocol that implements this service.

     Title           : IDIPS : ISP-Driven Informed Path Selection
     Author(s)       : D. Saucez, et al.
     Filename        : draft-saucez-idips-00.txt

This draft describes a simple network-based protocol to facilitate
Path Selection and to improve traffic engineering capabilities in
multihomed corporate networks.  With this protocol, any network
device that requires to select a path among a list of different paths
asks a Traffic Engineering service called IDIPS (ISP-Driven Informed
Path Selection) to obtain an ordered list of the possible paths.  The
ordering is constructed according to policies and performance
requirements of both the host and network provider.
