The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Performance-based Path Selection for Explicitly Routed LSPs using TE Metric Extensions' (draft-ietf-teas-te-express-path-05.txt) as Informational RFC This document is the product of the Traffic Engineering Architecture and Signaling Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Alvaro Retana, Alia Atlas and Deborah Brungard. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-teas-te-express-path/ Technical Summary This document describes how to use network performance data, such as is advertised via the OSPF and ISIS TE metric extensions (defined in other RFCs) to perform path selection based on network performance criteria. Working Group Summary This document moved from to the TEAS WGs as part of the routing WG changes. This document has been fairly noncontroversial Document Quality The extensions defined in this document are compatible with earlier implementations. While there have been no public statements on implementation, the authors are from multiple vendors, and implementation is expected - or may even already exist.
