Hi, John

  Please ignore the my previous post to yourself, its a mistake.
and about the "experience" , do you mean the leaking route? like this:

redistribute isis ip level?2 into level?1
distribute?list <100?199> metric?style wide

  I dont think it is best for a transit area to distinguish the original route and the passing route.

TIA
dillon

If you need me to lab this up and present to you a more detail information let me know. But if you want to experience and learn for yourself then that will be the way to learn.

However, Cisco *does"* allow the use of TLV 130 (IP External Reachability Information TLV) in L1 LSPs. And it is from that that your confusion arises. Note that the above only applies when using narrow metrics.
