Hi Deborah/Alia, Thanks for the comments. We really need a TE metric that can be used as last resort metric. RFC 5817 is very clear that 0xffffffff is a last-resort metric. Probably prior to 5817, there were no clear statements on The metric 0xffffffff being usable metric and resulted in implementation Differences.
I do see the conflict with RFC 5817 if this draft sets metric to 0xfffffffe. I think all the confusion is not really worth. While deploying feature in this draft operators have to make sure All the head-ends are behaving correctly with respect to 0xffffffff. I’ll change the TE metric to 0xffffffff in the next revision. WG, Let me know in case of any concern.

" and draft-ietf-ospf-link-overload-14 conflicts with that by using 0xfffffffe instead. I’ll defer to Shraddha and the other authors on this one. We did discuss the RFC 5817 inconsistency once already and the intension is that TE interface would still be used as a last resort TE interface.

But RFC5817 defined 0xffffffff to be used for graceful shutdown. I noted an email exchange between the author and Acee on this where Acee raised the question why RFC5817's value was not used. Shraddha replied "We can if we have the Working Group Consensus". There was no further discussion. This document was not shared with teas which is responsible for TE (or ccamp which was originally responsible for RFC5817). Either this value needs to be changed to RFC5817's value or this TE metric needs to be removed from this document until agreement with TEAS. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- COMMENT: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I found the title of section 7.2 "Controller Based Traffic Engineering Deployments" confusing as it only is describing a controller controlling a path. It is not "TE" in the IETF sense e.g. TE signaling. It would be much less confusing if say "Controller Based Deployments" and "satisfying the traffic engineering constraints"/s/"satisfying the constraints". Especially as for TE, procedures already do exist. I noted in the introduction you did reference RFC5817 MPLS Graceful Shutdown on the procedures when doing a graceful shutdown of a TE link.
