     There are scenarios where an ingress node requests remote node(s)
     to perform route computation or expansion. In such cases, there is
     a need for the ingress node to convey the required objective
     function for the path computation algorithm to the remote node
     performing route computation or expansion. Similarly, there is a
     need for the ingress node to indicate a TE metric bound for the
     loose segment 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).
