Hi Pavan,

I am not sure how much VL (Virtual Link) will be used in the practical deployment and how often concurrent path computation will be used.

Do you think if it makes sense to add a flag (in routing advertisement) to indicate a link is a VL or not?



Best Regards

Fatai

Fatai, Hi!

Good to see that you understand the construct now.

This is not a corner case. The utility of the construct becomes quite significant if you have an application that does concurrent path computations on an abstract topology.
