Re: [Lsr] New draft on Flex-Algorithm Bandwidth Constraints

[Gyan Mishra <[e-mail]>]

Hi William & Co-authors

>From first read of the draft it does appear your are trying to apply RSVP
TE PCALC path and reserve message link attributes constraints such as
concept of affinity bits to exclude low bandwidth or delay of individual
links without taking into account all of what RSVP TE is reserving of
bandwidth in the end to end path with the Path and Reserve message.  As
mentioned Looking at individual links will not provide the end to end path
view or bandwidth requirements for the entire path to be reserved as
accomplished by RSVP TE.

As Tony and Robert have mentioned I agree this is a good first step but
does need more refinement to make useful.

Kind Regards

Gyan
