We need to consider how frequent is the use case that you describe present in the field and whether existing mechanisms like SRTE, or usage of L3 links instead if L2 bundles in such case, are not sufficient to address the problem. The fact that it is possible to address the problem by flex-algo does not mandate the usage of it. thanks, Peter > > > which would require to define a strict path computation preference rules > and conflict resolutions that all routers would need to follow.
