Hello all

I wish that we had different words to describe the two phases of Traffic 
Engineering in MPLS but to date we do not.

In MPLS Traffic engineering is two separate processes, putting traffic where 
you want it (RSVP-TE and CD-LDP, ICMP, IGP).  You must be able to put the 
traffic where you want it in-order to design traffic loads.

The second part is doing the math. The math (the design process) is very 
involved, it takes a full understanding of voice and data traffic, trends 
statistics, and traffic modeling.  There are offline tools to help with the 
offline design process.

If we could separate TE-Signailing and TE-Design I think that we could solve 
a lot of communications problems.  Any Suggestions?

Yours Truly,
Rick G
