ONFIGURATION
Essentially, what DS-TE does is to map traffic trunks with LSPs, making each traffic
trunk traverse the constraints-compliant path.
DS-TE involves two concepts:
Class type (CT): The set of traffic trunks crossing a link that is governed by a
■
specific set of Bandwidth constraints. CT is used for purposes of link bandwidth
allocation, constraint based routing, and admission control. A given traffic
trunk belongs to the same CT on all links.
Bandwidth constraints (BCs): Different BC models can be created to control
■
CTs. A BC model is broken down into maximum number of BCs (MaxBC), and
mappings between BCs and CTs.

Currently, DiffServ-Aware TE is not supported.
