Ers8600 Ipvpn Summary - Avaya 8600 Technical Manual

In order to traffic engineer a path, i.e. bypass the IGP basic routing path, RSVP-TE must be enabled.
RSVP-TE is a protocol used to provide explicit-routing by means of traffic engineering the path either
statically, dynamically, or a combination of both. Hence, by enabling and using RSVP-TE, a path between
the ingress PE and egress PE can follow a different path as that selected by the IGP protocol. Starting in
the 5.0 software release for the ERS8600, RSVP-TE is supported. Please note that RSVP-TE support on
the ERS8600 is supported for IP LER or IGP shortcut forwarding only; RSVP is not supported in the IP-
VPN solution. The ERS8600 only uses the LDP protocol for label exchange.
