Peter -

The requirement Shraddha specified was to not allow a particular class of service ("heavy bandwidth services" was the example provided) to use certain links in the topology. My point is that advertising a flag for a given prefix which says "do not calculate a repair path for this prefix" does not help achieve this. Once the network reconverges following the failure of one of the links on which "heavy bandwidth services" is allowed/preferred it is quite likely that the new best path will be over a link on which "heavy bandwidth services" is NOT allowed/preferred. This will happen whether you have the new flag or not - so the flag will have no lasting effect. It would only affect traffic flow during the brief period during which the network is reconverging.

I think you and I are actually in agreement - I am simply sending a stronger negative message - not only do I think the flag is not useful - I think it does not achieve the goal Shraddha has in mind.

   Les

Hi Les,

I believe the idea is not to exclude any particular link, it's actually much simpler - do not calculate backup for the prefix if the flag is set.

I'm still not quite sure how useful above is, but technically it is possible.

thanks,
Peter

If there is a topology change it is quite likely that a given link will change from being a protectED link to being a protectING link (or vice versa). So what you propose regarding node-SIDs would not work.
