For my sake.. Since b/w constrains are advertised and handled per CT per TE
link (i.e. there are separate BCn values on each visible link in a TE
domain), why is LOM necessary to achieve overbooking per  CT per link?  Or
is it that link0 and link1 in your example form a some kind link bundle, i.e
form a single TE link as far as OSPF/ISIS TE extensions are concerned?

Thanks,
