Hi, Aijun: Thank you for the clarification of FAPM sub-TLV. Really helpful :-)

Case 1: A------C | | | | | | B------D We have two network slices for the traffic from A to D. For slice 1, the network operator expects to use A-B-D as the primary path and A-C-D as the backup path. For slice 2, A-C-D is the primary path and A-B-D is the backup path. Bandwidth resources are reserved along the primary paths for slices. On the backup path, no dedicated resources are reserved, and the bandwidth is shared with BE traffics. The metric-type of the two Flex-Algorithms are the same since they both care about the bandwidth resources. For Flex-Algo 128, we hope that metrics of link A-B and B-D are smaller than link A-C and C-D. But for Flex-Algo 129, we hope link A-C and C-D have smaller metrics. Case 2: A------C /|* | / | * | / | * | E---B------D There is TE-tunnel (or SR Policy) between A and D. A uses the tunnel as a short-cut path to D. In Flex-Algo 128 and 129, forward adjacency is enabled for the tunnel A-D to allow other nodes to see it. The metric of tunnel A-D is different in Flex-Algo 128 and 129 (for example, the physical path in Flex-Algo 128 is A-B-D, in Flex-Algo 129 is A-C-D). So, we hope A can advertise the virtual link A-D with different metrics for Flex-Algo 128 and 129.

Such sub-TLV is carried with the prefix advertisement. Will you change the name and application scope of such Sub-TLV? Currently, the name is “IS-IS Flexible Algorithm Prefix Metric Sub-TLV”, its application scope is limited in: “The IS-IS FAPM Sub-TLV is a sub-TLV of TLVs 135, 235, 236, and 237”.

It seems to me that the use case is fairly obscure and there is nothing to prevent usage of these metrics for this use case and the draft is simply a matter of semantics.
