Technical Summary
This document specifies extensions to OSPF Traffic Engineering
to include delay, loss, and current bandwidth utilization metric
that can be taken into account when performing traffic engineering.
Working Group Summary:
There has been much discussion as to how these metrics would be
collected and how they will be used. These topics were deemed to
to be out of scope.
There was also concern for potential overhead of collecting
and flooding these metrics. In response, the draft contains
guidance as to how often the measurements should be collected and
flooded. Additionally, the draft now recommends configuration
to control measurement usage and the thresholds for advertisement.
Finally, the draft was updated to include applicability to
Advanced Multipath links.
It should be noted that, consistent with the long-held IESG policy,
there is a partner I-D for extensions to IS-IS
(draft-ietf-isis-te-metric-extensions)
