Hi Peter,

Thank for the new version.

Regarding the new version you provided, new section 5.1 (for IS-IS) and section 
5.2 (for OSPF) mention respectively RFC 8570 and RFC 7471 for the definition of 
Min delay and TE metric which is fine for me. But, they also made reference to 
draft isis-te-app, respectively ospf-te-link-attr-reuse to encode these value. 
Here, it is confusing. Indeed, RFC 8570 and RFC 7471 also define the way to 
encode TE metric and Min delay.

What I'm suggesting, is a clear reference to the RFC for TE metric and Min 
delay definition as well as the encoding (especially for the delay) while 
leaving open the door to how the router acquire these values: legacy a.k.a. RFC 
8570 & 7471 or new draft a.k.a draft-isis-te-app & draft-ospf-link-attr-reuse.

In fact, in section 17.1.2, you mention only reference to RFC 8570 & RFC7471 
for the IANA definition which is fine for me. I would suggest the same wording 
for section 5.1. and 5.2 leaving operator free about how it collect the values 
from the neighbour routers: legacy or new method.

Regards

Olivier

PS. We have a pre-alpha implementation of flex algo using the legacy metrics 
and I know that recent IOS-XR provided similar implementation of flex algo 
based on legacy metrics.
