This is similar to the distribution and collection of the TE link attributes of the underlay network. I would say the need to distribute VTN specific link information requires a broader discussion.

And based on the L2 bundle mechanism, only minor extension is needed. the fact that there are no link attributes per each Flex-algo ID is a feature, not a miss. > >> b) the proposed mechanism to associate the VTN specific link data with the VTN >> itself by the use of the link affinities is a very user unfriendly way of doing it.

Thus different VTNs with low latency optimization may need to correlate with different set of resources for packet forwarding, hence different Admin Groups are needed to distinguish the different set of link attributes of a L3 link. Using Admin Group (link affinity) to correlate the link attributes with a Flex-Algo is the mechanism introduced in the Flex-Algo base document, this document tries to reuse the existing mechanisms when possible. not really. Flex-algo specification does not make any correlation between any link attribute and Flex-algo ID. It can not, as the same link attributes may be used by many Flex-Algo IDs. Flex-algo uses link attributes during calculation but these attributes are not tight to any specific Flex-algo ID. thanks, Peter > > Introducing a VTN-ID is another option, which would require a little more extensions.
