Re: [TE-wg] TE use in today's networks

 I suspect that one of the papers referenced is:

 There are serious considerations to be overcome before 
 this is practically implementable (ie, 10 significant digits

 Additionally, there are subsequent ops problems with
 implementing it (ie, dramatic impact when one link drops).

 I suspect that this issue has been hammered to death on
 a mailing list somewhere, anone have pointers?
