Hi Henderick, Thanks for your reply. Yes, I found algorithm filed in TLVs. While constructing LSP , whether we need to provide the algorithm mapping information along with label/SID ? I think for construction of label stack ,it required to know what label represents (whether it is shortest path or best path to the given node/prefix), so we should have algorithm mapping information also along with label in SIDB. Please let me know if my understanding is wrong .
Whether we can use multiple algorithms to represent same Node SID ?

So besides shortest path you could use a different algorithm.

Can anybody help me to clarify this. The SID/Label distributed by IGPs (OSPF or ISIS) for the prefixes/Nodes should represent Shortest Path to the given prefix or node? We can use same Labels for other representation like Best Effort Path also ? (The label distribution done by OSPF, but the next-hop for the node is calculated by other IGPs based on administrative decision) Regards, Veerendranath
