I might not attend Minneapolis IETF. Here are some
  concerns.

-> Rahul Aggrawal
-> >OSPF TE Extension
-> >draft-raggarwa-ospf-te-node-addr-00.txt

  The above draft reads:

     OSPFv2 stub links in the router LSA [OSPFv2],
     provide stub reachability information to the router but
     are not sufficient to learn all the local addresses of
     a router.

  Aren't we duplicating the information in Router LSA and
  TE LSA ? We can use passive interface capability to flood
  this desired information using Router LSA.

  In other words, why is Router LSA stub info not *sufficient*
  to learn all local addresses (if we enable active/passive
  OSPF routing over all those interfaces) ?

Venkata.
