RE: MPLS and COPS

Ritu,
  I see what you are saying and I did read some of them emails but it is
needed. I mean I don't get it (:-)). Why not have a way for TE to take in
some higher layer knowledge to perform smart engineering. There is a lot of
knowledge that can be conveyed to the lower layers from the applications
sitting on top.

Been there, tried that :-).

This was discussed at some length a few months ago on the tewg mailing list.
The ADs did not see policy as an area that fitted within the TE WG charter
at that time.
