Abstract:
     In particular networks such as those used by financial
     institutions, network performance criteria such as latency are
     becoming as critical to data path selection.  However cost is still
     an important consideration.  This leads to a situation where path
     calculation involves multiple metrics an more complex objective
     functions.

     When using GMPLS control plane, the ingress node may need to
     request remote node to perform path computation or expansion. In
     such cases, ingress node needs to convey the required objective
     function to the remote node, to enable it to perform the desired
     path computation. Similarly, there are cases the ingress needs to
     indicate a TE metric bound for a loose segment that is expanded by
     a remote node. 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).
