Re: Traffic Engineering - record-route and path-selection

Paul,

I'll try setting up two tunnels with each a different in a mode and
see which tunnel is preferred and then try to influence which tunnel
should be taken.

I'll have to read up on RSVP and see when it's important for knowing
the return path.

Thanks
-Rich
