[f-nsp] MLXe XMR Outbound Route Optimization (AKA Cisco OER/pfr)

[George B.]

That's pretty much a Cisco proprietary feature, not something that is
standard to any routing protocol.  Basically, it is so you can send your
money to Cisco instead of your telecom vendor.  You can buy a router that
works around a congested link instead of getting a bigger link.

My personal feeling is that if you are resorting to such gymnastics to
avoid congestion, then there might be problems at layer 8 in the
organization and you are really just routing around that.
