[f-nsp] LSP Metrics

[Darren O'Connor]

Unfortunately that's not feasible. I'm approaching many hundreds of VPLS on many XMR boxes and moving all of the others to another named LSP just won't work.


Ideally Brocade need to ensure L2VPN also takes the metric into account, or be able to tag an LSP somehow so that it's only used if specifically configured to do so.



Thanks
