Wei,

Thank you very much for the review and a very good question.
Please see below for the detailed answer:

[Linda] That is a very good question. By the way, we have updated the draft
with SRv6 and TE underlay added:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-dunbar-neotec-ac-te-applicability/

To address your question, we might need to add some study of Non-TE-Based
or Internet-Backed PE-PE Networks:

In Non-TE-Based or Internet-Backed PE-PE Networks, basic connectivity and
performance data may still be obtained using existing IETF YANG models such
as:
-  RFC 8343 (YANG Data Model for Interface Management) and RFC 8344 ( YANG
Data Model for IP Management) for interface and IP layer status
- ietf-routing [RFC8349] to understand basic forwarding paths and
  route preferences
- Operational telemetry models for real-time monitoring of metrics like:
  * Interface utilization
  * Packet loss
  * Round-trip time (RTT)
  * Jitter (if measured using active probes or synthetic monitoring)

In these cases, instead of path-level traffic engineering, the
orchestrator or Cloud Manager can query and interpret per-hop or
per-segment interface metrics, or use active measurements (e.g., IP
SLA-like probes) to estimate end-to-end path characteristics. These inputs
can inform workload placement decisions, albeit without the
deterministic path selection and enforcement that TE-based architectures
allow.

Neotec’s API framework can abstract these differences by returning
consistent metrics (e.g., latency, bandwidth availability), regardless
of whether they are derived from TE topology models or measured
heuristically in best-effort environments.
