Configuring RSVP-TE
terms of peak data rate, average data rate, burst size, and minimum/maximum packet
sizes.
RSVP-TE is a set of traffic engineering extensions to RSVP. RSVP-TE extensions enable
RSVP to be used for traffic engineering in MPLS environments. The primary extensions
add support for assigning MPLS labels and specifying explicit paths as a sequence of
loose and strict routes. These extensions are supported by including label request and
explicit route objects in the path message. A destination responds to a label request by
including a label object in its reserve message. Labels are then subsequently assigned at
each node the reserve message traverses. Thus, RSVP-TE operates in
downstream-on-demand label advertisement mode with ordered LSP control.
ExtremeWare does not support native RSVP. RSVP is supported only on TE
LSPs.
