Re: [Lsr] A new version of I-D, draft-liu-lsr-isis-ifit-node-capability-02

Robert, 

We are deviating ;-)

There’s no feedback loop from telemetry producers back to the TE headend.
The telemetry, either end2end or postcards is sent to a  collector that has the context of the data and normalizes it so it can be consumed by an external system, being centralized or distributed PCE or anything else that could make use of it. Do you see IGP anywhere in between?

Regards,
Jeff
