I got to disagree with Bob - *Blocking probability*
indirectly signifies/derived from either loss probability or
impending congestion probability (regardless of
Layer 3 connection oriented or not). Almost all of
the datalink/physical layers are connection oriented
in that sense and there do exists some loss probability
as time varying function. The intelligent decision
(*end-to-end path*) should depend upon such links/hops
properties also.
You may want to look at the latest OSPF-OMP draft
and complete description of OMP applicability to
different areas (OSPF/ISIS/MPLS) in the official
OMP site (below).
