How would the ifMTU be used in gmpls-routing-01.txt
The draft mentioned the following:
For Packet-Switch Capable interfaces the additional information
includes Maximum LSP Bandwidth, Minimum LSP Bandwidth, and interface
MTU
It explained how the Maximum LSP Bandwidth and Minimum LSP Bandwidth are
expected to use when setting up an LSP. However it says only the following
on MTU:
The Interface MTU is the maximum size of a packet that can be
transmitted on this interface without being fragmented
My question is how the if mtu is expected to use. Would it be used as a
constraint during LSP setup just like the bandwidth constraint? If this is
the case, would the application/customer ask for a LSP MTU constraint larger
than a specific value or smaller than a value or both?
