Hi Les,

I think the requirement Shraddha is referring is about the choice of exact
node-sid to use while constructing the label-stack for a explicit-LSP on
the ingress router, which will be typically done after running some CSPF
on the SPRING topology. And not the IGP on ingress or transit routers.

Thanks
