     When using GMPLS control plane, the ingress node may need to
     request remote node to perform route computation or expansion. In
     such cases, ingress node needs to convey the required objective
     function for the path computation algorithm to the remote node, so
     that the remote node can perform the route computation or
     expansion. Similarly, there are cases the ingress needs to indicate
     a TE metric bound for the loose segment which is expanded by the
     remote node(s). This document defines extensions to the RSVP-TE
     Protocol to allow an ingress node to request the required objective
     function for the path computation, as well as a metric bound to
     influence route computation decisions at a remote node(s).
