The IESG has approved the Internet-Draft 'Overview and Principles of
Internet Traffic Engineering' <draft-ietf-tewg-principles-02.txt> as an
Informational RFC.  This document is the product of the Internet
Traffic Engineering Working Group.  The IESG contact persons are Bert
Wijnen and Scott Bradner.


Note to RFC Editor:

Please change the text of item 3 (under 6.2 Routing Recommendations)
From:

   3. Modifying IGP metrics to control traffic routing tends to
      have network-wide effect. Consequently, undesirable and
      unanticipated traffic shifts can be triggered as a result.

   Because of these limitations, new capabilities are needed to enhance
   the routing function in IP networks.  Some of these capabilities have
   been described elsewhere and are summarized below.

      Recent work described in Section 8.0 may be capable of
      better control [FT00, FT01].
