An MP-BGP protocol extension to advertize TE-related PE-CE link information
This document proposes MP-BGP protocol extension so as to convey Traffic Engineering Link characterictics of PE (Provider Edge) - CE (Customer Edge) links in order to extend the visibility of the Traffic Engineering Database to those links. This can then be used to more efficiently compute CE-to-CE Traffic Engineering Label Swtiched Path (TE LSP) when required to provide specific services such as bandwidth guarantees and end to end fast protection in a Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Virtual Private Network (VPN) environment.
