Abstract:
Several Link-type sub-Type-Length-Values (sub-TLVs) have been defined for
Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) and Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS) in the context of
Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Traffic Engineering (TE), in order to advertise some link characteristics such as
the available bandwidth, traffic engineering metric, administrative group, and so on. By making statistical assumptions about
the aggregated traffic carried onto a set of TE Label Switched Paths (LSPs) signalled with zero
bandwidth (referred to as "unconstrained TE LSP" in this document), algorithms can be designed to load
balance (existing or newly configured) unconstrained TE LSP across a set of equal cost paths. This
requires knowledge of the number of unconstrained TE LSPs signalled across a link. This
document specifies a new Link-type Traffic Engineering sub-TLV used to advertise the
number of unconstrained TE LSPs signalled across a link. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
