IS-IS TE Attributes per application
draft-ietf-isis-te-app-01.txt
Abstract
Existing traffic engineering related link attribute advertisements
have been defined and are used in RSVP-TE deployments. In cases
where multiple applications wish to make use of these link attributes
the current advertisements do not support application specific values
for a given attribute nor do they support indication of which
applications are using the advertised value for a given link.
This draft introduces new link attribute advertisements which address
both of these shortcomings. It also discusses backwards
compatibility issues and how to minimize duplicate advertisements in
the presence of routers which do not support the extensions defined
in this document.
