The emails of this thread have been about the shortest path
computation in a network where any subset of links are allowed to be used only
in one particular direction.
I wonder whether the described solution (replacing links by either two or
only one arrow,assigning any predecessor only if there is a fitting arrow from
there) is or is not common place?
It has always been useful for QoS/SLA/available bandwidth
sensitive/etc routing inside any OSPF network.
Can either OSPF-experts or edu-folks comment on my question?
Myself, I know about this trick since the early days of PNNI where there
were uni-directional uplinks (i.e.without inversely
directed down-links).
