Re: [Ietf-hub-bangalore] IP hop by hop routing with TE

[sujay gupta <[e-mail]>]

Hi Dhruv

That's good. I believe if I have a constrained route map, i can program a
openflow directed path all across like how routeflow does.
The challenge will remain if the switches are running both OF and legacy
routing, where a label concept to distinguish constrained traffic needs to
come.
(& hence back to MPLS etc.)

But yes all the discussion we had is useful.

Regards,
-Sujay
