Question on path-metric-optimize include and exclude #264

Closed italobusi closed 7 months ago

italobusi commented 7 months ago

The path-metric-optimize-includes and path-metric-optimize-excludes identities have been defined with the base path-metric-type in RFC8776 in order to be used within grouping optimization-metric-entry

With the current definition it is also possible to use them as path-metric-bound as well as path-properties. However, it is not fully clear how they can be used in these two cases

Note: they could also be used as tiebreaker-type but this depends on the resolution of issue #263

[ ] @italobusi : send via e-mail to trigger discussion on this issue
[ ] @tsaad-dev : check if these metrics are applicable as path metric bounds or as path properties

Define a new base identity for path optimization metrics, such that:

All the path metrics are also path optimization metrics;
These two identities are path optimization metrics but not path metrics.

The metric types used for optimization should be path optimization metrics, while the metric types use for path metric bounds or properties should be path metric types.
