Sean;

TE is really a buzzword used by vendor marketroids to extract cash from
operators who could just as easily spend it on the competition's gear.
IOW, the traffic that is engineered is the flow of money.

Once, I asked an expert in telephone technology on the meaning
of TE. Considering that telephone industry is working mostly
on L2, there is no room to put Cisco-style TE.

His answer was that TE in telephone industry means to just provide
enough bandwdith.
