Those who don't don't know how lucky they are. Let me repeat, using short words with few syllables: 1) draft-katz-yeung says how to do TE in a single OSPF area. 2) draft-katz-yeung does not address the multi-area case. 3) Given (2), it does not make sense to put in lim it ations that say it won't work in the multi-area case when at worst we don't know, and at best it may in fact work like a charm. > All my comments including those on limitations remain unanswered.

I never said that that's what you stated. I just said that that was what I would insert. It's been fun, Kireeti.
