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

[Fabio Mendes]

PfR goes beyond congestion.

QoS configs are static and they denpend on the path chosen by the routing
protocol. If the path has a considereable delay, as long as adjacencies are
not affected, no routing protocol will reroute part of traffic (eg VoIP
traffic) to a different path automagically.

PfR offers the abillity to pick a diferent path to diferent
traffic/traffics if the one chosen by the routing protocol goes out of the
policy.

I'm no Cisco pimp, in fact, I've been working with Foundry/Brocade products
for quite a time but I must recognize that they don't have this kind of
inovation.

When it comes about features and inovation Cisco, is centuries ahead.
