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

Hi Yali, et al,
thank you for the interesting discussion. I have several questions about
the purpose of advertising ifit capabilities in IGP (and in general):

   - Do you see a capability to export telemetry information as a
   mandatory or optional?
   - Do you expect that a segment route to be constructed to prefer
   ifit-capable nodes comparing to nodes that are not?

Thank you for your kind consideration of my questions.

Regards,
Greg
