Hi Shraddha, Thanks for your response. I believe we now have only one open discussion point and hence I am top posting my suggestions.
If the authors wish to cover the Generic Metric TLV usage in TE Opaque LSAs in this document then we will need more text/specification than "All traditional TE applications like CSPF/RSVP make use of link-attributes from TE-LSA." Some suggestions which can be incorporated in a separate section that is titled "Use of Generic Metric for RSVP-TE": - specify that Generic Metric TLV usage in TE Opaque LSAs is limited to RSVP-TE use - specify the differences for use of bandwidth metric for RSVP-TE; I assume it is a constant metric value itself since we don't have FAD to determine the b/w metric - flex algo prunes links w/o the specific metric advertisements; will it be the same for RSVP-TE CSPF? - cover backward compatibility aspects (e.g., what if the computation needs to optimize on a particular metric and a set of routers/links don't carry that metric value) I hope this gives an idea of the details necessary if this document is attempting to cover use of generic metric for not just flex algo but other applications. If there were any other applications/usage in mind, it would be good to clarify that explicitly. We have many different LSAs in OSPF resulting in potential interop issues if the specifications are not clear.
