Wilson, THE goal of FRR is that your traffic can be switched to an
alternative path so quickly (50ms or less). You can't get these response
times with BGP/LDP!

hello,
 
If *FRR* is the biggest driver of TE, then that can be achieved by using
BGP as an LDP also :) (or using any other LDP) as they would give us
multiple LSPs to the same VPNv4 prefix :)?? Will they not?
