Dear all,

During presentation in ccamp session this morning, we've received valuable comments, and we'd like to have more discussion in the mailing list. 

Since GMPLS segment recovery allows operators explicitly specify the start node and end node of protection paths, we think it would be beneficial to provide similar function in TE FRR.

We solicit feedbacks on this requirement, and we can also discuss in which way we should extend the signaling.

A good comment we got is maybe we can use some way to collect information about node/link reliability, and based on this information, operators can decide which nodes should perform as PLRs and whether node protection or link protection is needed. We will consider this in future work.

More comments are welcome.

Best Regards,
Jie
