Hi,

I support this concept, but I wonder why you do not use PathErr instead of Resv.
Why not just define a new Errcode/value for the PathErr to indicate preempted
but still in place?
Transit nodes (including backwards compatibility) will forward the PathErr but
not act on the LSP
The headend can treat the PathErr as you describe by performing
make-before-break.

Cheers,
Adrian
