We use RSVP exclusively in our business access and core networks due to markets wanting the 50ms protection for services like cell backhaul and CES. The boxes we use are fairly small and cheap and handle RSVP fairly well (not C or J but A). We do break up our access networks into multiple IGP

I think Pavel is speaking of the case where the PLR is more than one hop from the ingress node. It is very topology dependent but you can end up with bypasses or detours taking a different path than the IGP especially when its a few hops from the ingress node. Also ring topologies introduce w

That's really subjective so it depends on your network. Placing the full internet table in a VRF will could cause it to be advertised to PE routers that may not need it, but if your routers can handle that it may not be a big deal. Also, filtering routes for things like partial tables becomes a
