Julien -

I point out the newly added Section 6 in https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-isis-te-app/ .
If you have not read this new section please do so. It may help explain why I think draft-hegde-isis-advertising-te-protocols is unneeded.

As regards advertising RFC 3473 support and/or other RSVP related capabilities, my opinion is unchanged. This first needs to be discussed in the appropriate WG (teas, ccamp, mpls - I leave that to yourself and others to choose) so that consensus on this requirement is first established. Then, if needed, an appropriate way to advertise this support (both in IS-IS and OSPF) would be defined. But IMO this does not belong in either of the two drafts mentioned above.

I understand that you may still disagree.

   Les
