[c-nsp] MPLS TE auto-tunnel and ISIS metric

[Adam Vitkovsky]

Since this seems to be getting more and more complicated, I'd like to ask
whether there's an option to migrate to a code that would support IP-FRR
instead of TE-FRR please? 

Just shooting in the dark is the fast-reroute enabled on the primary
tunnels? (via auto-tunnel template)
Or do you otherwise see that the primary tunnels are protected please?

Thank you Dip and Adam. Just the information I needed to make something
work. :-)

I have to define a tunnel destination ACL that only covers the immediate
neighbors to get NHOP protection and nothing else, but that's okay with me.
Traffic towards destinations that cross an LSR without mesh configuration is
discarded with a "no label" reason, but that's probable by design.

I'm a little puzzled now though. Failover times with FRR are not exactly
better than with, au contraire. All the show commands look fine with both
"primary:" and "repair:" paths in CEF and correct MPLS TE output but we're
seeing around 1-2 seconds recovery time for a software forced crash on an
intermediary device. The mesh tunnels are defined so that the path that
breaks with the crash is protected.

This is at best the same as the around 1 second we see with not FRR and the
more tests we do (thank $deity the Sup2T reloads quickly!) the more it looks
like this FRR configuration makes things worse instead of better.

Is the Sup2T maybe not suited for this kind of FRR? Or should I try looking
more into making it work better?
