LSP Preemption

You can develop a preemption strategy whereby a new LSP can claim resources from
an existing LSP. Each tunnel can be configured with a setup priority and a hold priority.
Priority levels range from 0 (highest priority) through 7 (lowest priority).
If traffic engineering admission control determines that there are insufficient resources
to accept a request to set up a new LSP, the setup priority is evaluated against the
hold priority of existing LSPs. An LSP with a hold priority lower than the setup priority
of the new LSP can be preempted. The existing LSP is terminated to make room
(free resources) for the new LSP. You must assign priorities according to network
policies to prevent resource poaching and LSP thrashing.

Topology-Driven LSPs

Topology-driven LSPs are implemented for best-effort, hop-by-hop routing. In
topology-driven LSP mode, LDP automatically sets up LSPs for IGP, direct, and static
routes, subject to filtering by access-lists. JUNOSe supports downstream-unsolicited
LDP using the platform label space.
If you use the topology-driven LSP mode to forward plain IP packets, use the ldp
ip-forwarding command to place LSPs into the IP routing table for forwarding plain
IP traffic.
You can use the mpls ldp advertise-labels command to limit the number of routes
for which labels are advertised. In most cases, you can issue mpls ldp
advertise-labels host-only.

LDP over RSVP-TE

If you are running RSVP-TE in the core, LDP can tunnel through the core by stacking
an LDP LSP over an RSVP-TE LSP, as shown in Figure 58 on page 247. With LDP over
RSVP-TE, LDP establishes targeted sessions among the LDP routers at the edge of
the RSVP core. From the perspective of the LDP LSP, the RSVP-TE core is a single
hop.

Flooding frequency Periodicity with which the bandwidth value is flooded,
apart from any flooding due to value changes
Administrative weight Weight assigned to the interface that supersedes any
assigned by the IGP
Attribute flags 32-bit value that assigns the interface to a resource class and
enables a tunnel to discriminate among interfaces by matching against tunnel
affinity bits
