Authors,

As per my understanding of the draft, SPF calculation uses sum of metric fr=
om the interface cost and the network to router cost advertised by the neig=
hbor.
Handling of MAX metric is not described in the draft.  Since the metric wil=
l be sum of 2 16 bit numbers it can exceed the normal 0xffff metric value a=
nd the draft should talk about how to handle these cases.

Rgds
Shraddha
