Traffic Engineering

Scenario
This shows a simple MPLS TE setup between two PEs from the perspective of PE1. An MPLS TE tunnel, Tunnel1, is built between PE1 and PE2 with the following characteristics:

• An explicit path has been configured to follow the lower P1-P2-P3 path
• A dynamic path is to be used as a second option
• The setup priority is 2 and the hold priority is 1
• The tunnel uses autoroute announce with a relative metric of -5
• The tunnel is signalling to use 10Mbps of bandwidth
• The tunnel uses the default of the TE metrics to decide the dynamic path, but the link to P1 has been given an administrative weight of 100.
• Re-optimization will take place when there is a link flap
• Each interface has been configured with a maximum reservable bandwidth of 80Mbps
