Hi Kavitha,

You could start taking a look at OSPF TE extensions (which basically add
opaque LSAs) to redistribute link state information like max bandwidth and
then use OSPFAPI (included in the software distribution) to perform the
path computation. This means hat you need to code in C, and that you will
reuse an OSPF library, but it should work. I plan to work on this soon, so
keep in touvh with the list :)
