Hi Peter,

Take SR-MPLS and RFC8667.

for MPLS summarization is practically not possible, we have been through that.


Take RFC7810

TE metric is only advertised for links, not for prefixes.



Take RFC5120

I do not see any relevance to MTR. The summarization applies to any MT in a same way as to MT-0.


literally anything which uses inter-area leaking today.

prefixes that are leaked between areas can be summarized. We are not changing any of that.

thanks,
Peter

Thx,
R.

    like what?
