FW: draft-srisuresh-ospf-te-05.txt

["Wijnen, Bert (Bert)" <bwijnen@lucent.com>]

Is this the document that has had so much controversy and
where the WG chairs (both in OSPF WG and in TEWG) have
been pushing back so hard?

If so... then this seems like an end-run.
I can/will check with TEWG chairs

Thanks,
Bert

   OSPF-xTE: An experimental extension to OSPF for Traffic Engineering

   This document defines OSPF-xTE, an experimental traffic engineering
   (TE) extension to the link-state routing protocol OSPF. New TE LSAs
   are defined to disseminate TE metrics within an autonomous
   System (AS) - intra-area as well as inter-area. An Autonomous
   System may consist of TE and non-TE nodes. Non-TE nodes are
   uneffected by the distribution of TE LSAs. A stand-alone TE Link
   State Database (TE-LSDB), separate from the native OSPF LSDB, is
   generated for the computation of TE circuit paths. OSPF-xTE is
   also extendible to non-packet networks such as SONET/TDM and
   optical networks. A transition path is provided for those using
   [OPQLSA-TE] and wish to adapt OSPF-xTE.


Sincerely,
