Are > you sure there's no additional path info? before we could be sure that an aggregation proposal was nondestructive, we'd have to model it from where a lot of people sit, not just patrick. on the one hand this seems to be a useful endeavour. in addition to measuring the total number of routes, we probably ought to measure the number of non-TE-related routes, and focus our attention on those routes and also the ratio ("global TE cost borne by the routing system.") on the other hand i dispair of finding a set of observation posts and metrics that will abstract TE out of the observed routes in a way that wouldn't be seen as controversial or useless by most of the community. -- ISC Training!
