I have talked to quite alot of providers about TE and as Eric said, FRR is top of the list. However, in countries where BW costs an arm and a leg (Sth Africa for instance), TE is seen as a way of putting off network upgrades which saves both money and pain. I have also seen this requirement in Eastern Europe and know it is in use in Australia. -----Original Message----- From: McCallum, Robert [mailto:robert.mccallum@thus.net] Sent: 03 May 2004 15:40 To: 'Eric Osborne'; Lavoisier J.L.Farias; mpls-ops@mplsrc.com Subject: RE: [MPLS-OPS]: Reasons to deploy MPLS-TE Of course Eric isnt in the slightest bit biased about TE :-) Robert McCallum CCIE #8757 R&S 01415663448 07818002241 > -----Original Message----- > From: Eric Osborne [mailto:eosborne@cisco.com] > Sent: 03 May 2004 15:39 > To: Lavoisier J.L.Farias; mpls-ops@mplsrc.com > Subject: Re: [MPLS-OPS]: Reasons to deploy MPLS-TE > > > On Sat, 1 May 2004 17:47:16 -0300, Lavoisier J.L.Farias > <lavoisier_farias@uol.com.br> wrote: > > > Dear Sir, > > > > My name is Lavoisier Farias and I work in a Brazilian software > > company.
