What do you mean with that? With both ISIS and OSPF you can do TE based on constraints like bandwith request,link coloring, or even metric, that leads to paths not following the IGP best path. > > am i right? any issues im overlooking etc? > > I would also like to know, can ISIS be used in split > topologies...i mean > like OSPF "area 0" ..does ISIS insist on only 1 "level-2"? or can > i have a > non "hierarchial" topology with Level-2 between any 2 Level-1 > areas and keep > cascading?...there is nothing in the draft which seems to point to > that... You can have TE inside a level 2 area, or inside a level 1 area, and depending on the specific implementation of TE (Cisco, Juniper, Riverstone, ...) you can/cannot do TE between areas, either OSPF or ISIS. > rgds > Alok > > > ------- > The MPLS-OPS Mailing List > Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.mplsrc.com/mplsops.shtml > Archive: http://www.mplsrc.com/mpls-ops_archive.shtml > ------- The MPLS-OPS Mailing List Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.mplsrc.com/mplsops.shtml Archive: http://www.mplsrc.com/mpls-ops_archive.shtml
