In Traffic-Engineered (TE) systems, it is sometimes desirable to
establish an end-to-end TE path with a set of constraints (such as
bandwidth) across one or more networks from a source to a
destination.  TE information is the data relating to nodes and TE
links that is used in the process of selecting a TE path.  TE
information is usually only available within a network.  We call such
a zone of visibility of TE information a domain.  An example of a
domain may be an IGP area or an Autonomous System.

In order to determine the potential to establish a TE path through a
series of connected networks, it is necessary to have available a
certain amount of TE information about each network.  This need not
be the full set of TE information available within each network but
does need to express the potential of providing TE connectivity.
This subset of TE information is called TE reachability information.

This document sets out the problem statement for the exchange of TE
information between interconnected TE networks in support of
end-to-end TE path establishment and describes the best current
practice architecture to meet this problem statement.  For reasons
that are explained in this document, this work is limited to simple
TE constraints and information that determine TE reachability.

This document is a product of the Traffic Engineering Architecture and Signaling Working Group of the IETF.
