Randy,
I respect your knowledge and wisdom and that of other people on this list=
=20
here which is why i asked this question. Yes, i have gone through the RFC=
=20
1771 throughly and trust me it does not mention any other use of this Path=
=20
attribute, except for the path length/loop detection. People on this list=
=20
have a *lot* of experience and its these people who actually use this=20
protocol.
To me these were the best people to tell me if they indeed use it for othe=
r=20
purposes also.
Thanks,
Abhishek
