This feature module describes MPLS traffic engineering and enhancements for Release 12.1(3)T. The document includes the following sections:
Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) traffic engineering software enables an MPLS backbone to replicate and expand upon the traffic engineering capabilities of Layer 2 ATM and Frame Relay networks. MPLS is an integration of Layer 2 and Layer 3 technologies. By making traditional Layer 2 features available to Layer 3, MPLS enables traffic engineering. Thus, you can offer in a one-tier network what now can be achieved only by overlaying a Layer 3 network on a Layer 2 network.
Traffic engineering is essential for service provider and Internet service provider (ISP) backbones. Such backbones must support a high use of transmission capacity, and the networks must be very resilient so that they can withstand link or node failures.
MPLS traffic engineering provides an integrated approach to traffic engineering. With MPLS, traffic engineering capabilities are integrated into Layer 3, which optimizes the routing of IP traffic, given the constraints imposed by backbone capacity and topology.
WAN connections are an expensive item in an ISP budget. Traffic engineering enables ISPs to route network traffic to offer the best service to their users in terms of throughput and delay. By making the service provider more efficient, traffic engineering reduces the cost of the network.
Currently, some ISPs base their services on an overlay model. In the overlay model, transmission facilities are managed by Layer 2 switching. The routers see only a fully meshed virtual topology, making most destinations appear one hop away. If you use the explicit Layer 2 transit layer, you can precisely control how traffic uses available bandwidth. However, the overlay model has numerous disadvantages. MPLS traffic engineering achieves the traffic engineering benefits of the overlay model without running a separate network, and without needing a nonscalable, full mesh of router interconnects.
MPLS traffic engineering automatically establishes and maintains LSPs across the backbone by using RSVP. The path that an LSP uses is determined by the LSP resource requirements and network resources, such as bandwidth.
Available resources are flooded by means of extensions to a link-state based IGP.
Traffic engineering tunnels are calculated at the LSP head based on a fit between required and available resources (constraint-based routing). The IGP automatically routes the traffic onto these LSPs. Typically, a packet crossing the MPLS traffic engineering backbone travels on a single LSP that connects the ingress point to the egress point.
MPLS traffic engineering is built on the following IOS mechanisms:
One approach to engineering a backbone is to define a mesh of tunnels from every ingress device to every egress device. The MPLS traffic engineering path calculation and signaling modules determine the path taken by the LSPs for these tunnels, subject to resource availability and the dynamic state of the network. The IGP, operating at an ingress device, determines which traffic should go to which egress device, and steers that traffic into the tunnel from ingress to egress.
A flow from an ingress device to an egress device might be so large that it cannot fit over a single link, so it cannot be carried by a single tunnel. In this case, multiple tunnels between a given ingress and egress can be configured, and the flow is load-shared among them.
For more information about MPLS (previously referred to as Tag Switching), see the following Cisco documentation:
This section describes how traffic is mapped into tunnels; that is, how conventional hop-by-hop link-state routing protocols interact with MPLS traffic engineering capabilities. In particular, this section describes how the shortest path first (SPF) algorithm, sometimes called a Dijkstra algorithm, has been enhanced so that a link-state IGP can automatically forward traffic over tunnels that MPLS traffic engineering establishes.
Link-state protocols, like integrated IS-IS or OSPF, use an SPF algorithm to compute a shortest path tree from the head-end node to all nodes in the network. Routing tables are derived from this shortest path tree. The routing tables contain ordered sets of destination and first-hop information. If a router does normal hop-by-hop routing, the first hop is over a physical interface attached to the router.
New traffic engineering algorithms calculate explicit routes to one or more nodes in the network. The originating router views these explicit routes as logical interfaces. In the context of this document, these explicit routes are represented by LSPs and referred to as traffic engineering tunnels (TE tunnels).
The following sections describe how link-state IGPs can use these shortcuts, and how they can install routes in the routing table that point to these TE tunnels. These tunnels use explicit routes, and the path taken by a TE tunnel is controlled by the router that is the head-end of the tunnel. In the absence of errors, TE tunnels are guaranteed not to loop, but routers must agree on how to use the TE tunnels. Otherwise, traffic might loop through two or more tunnels.
During each step of the SPF computation, a router discovers the path to one node in the network.
For traffic engineering purposes, each router maintains a list of all TE tunnels that originate at this head-end router. For each of those TE tunnels, the router at the tail-end is known to the head-end router.
During the SPF computation, the TENT (tentative) list stores paths that are possibly the best paths and the PATH list stores paths that are definitely the best paths. When it is determined that a path is the best possible path, the node is moved from TENT to PATH. PATH is thus the set of nodes for which the best path from the computing router has been found. Each PATH entry consists of ID, path cost, and forwarding direction.
The router must determine the first-hop information. There are several ways to do this:
As a result of this computation, traffic to nodes that are the tail end of TE tunnels flows over the TE tunnels. Traffic to nodes that are downstream of the tail-end nodes also flows over the TE tunnels. If there is more than one TE tunnel to different intermediate nodes on the path to destination node X, traffic flows over the TE tunnel whose tail-end node is closest to node X.
The SPF algorithm finds equal-cost parallel paths to destinations. The enhancement previously described does not change this. Traffic can be forwarded over any of the following:
A special situation occurs in the topology shown in Figure 1.
If parallel native IP paths and paths over TE tunnels are available, the following implementations allow you to force traffic to flow over TE tunnels only or only over native IP paths. Assume that all links have the same cost and that a TE tunnel is set up from Router A to Router D.
Traffic to Router E now load balances over
When traffic engineering tunnels install an IGP route in a router information base (RIB) as next hops, the distance or metric of the route must be calculated. Normally, you could make the metric the same as the IGP metric over native IP paths as if the TE tunnels did not exist. For example, Router A can reach Router C with the shortest distance of 20. X is a route advertised in IGP by Router C. Route X is installed in Router A's RIB with the metric of 20. When a TE tunnel from Router A to Router C comes up, by default the route is installed with a metric of 20, but the next-hop information for X is changed.
Although the same metric scheme can work well in other situations, for some applications it is useful to change the TE tunnel metric (for instance, when there are equal cost paths through TE tunnel and native IP links). You can adjust TE tunnel metrics to force the traffic to prefer the TE tunnel, to prefer the native IP paths, or to load share among them.
Suppose that multiple TE tunnels go to the same destination or different destinations. TE tunnel metrics can force the traffic to prefer some TE tunnels over others, regardless of IGP distances to those destinations.
Setting metrics on TE tunnels does not affect the basic SPF algorithm. It affects only two questions:
1. Is the TE tunnel installed as one of the next hops to the destination routers?
2. What is the metric value of the routes being installed into the RIB?
You can modify the metrics for determining the first-hop information in one of the following ways:
In each of the above cases, the IGP assigns metrics to routes associated with those tail-end routers and their downstream routers.
The SPF computation is loop free because the traffic through the TE tunnels is basically source routed. The end result of TE tunnel metric adjustment is the control of traffic loadsharing. If there is only one way to reach the destination through a single TE tunnel, then no matter what metric is assigned, the traffic has only one way to go.
You can represent the TE tunnel metric in two different ways: (1) as an absolute (or fixed) metric or (2) as a relative (or floating) metric.
If you use an absolute metric, the routes assigned with the metric are fixed. This metric is used not only for the routes sourced on the TE tunnel tail-end router, but also for each route downstream of this tail-end router that uses this TE tunnel as one of its next hops.
For example, if you have TE tunnels to two core routers in a remote point of presence (POP), and one of them has an absolute metric of 1, all traffic going to that POP traverses this low-metric TE tunnel.
If you use a relative metric, the actual assigned metric value of routes is based on the IGP metric. This relative metric can be positive or negative, and is bounded by minimum and maximum allowed metric values. For example, assume the topology shown in Figure 2.
If there is no TE tunnel, Router A installs routes x, y, and z and assigns metrics 20, 30, and 40 respectively. Suppose that Router A has a TE tunnel T1 to Router C. If the relative metric -5 is used on tunnel T1, the routers x, y, and z have the installed metrics of 15, 25, and 35. If an absolute metric of 5 is used on tunnel T1, routes x, y and z have the same metric 5 installed in the RIB for Router A. The assigning of no metric on the TE tunnel is a special case, a relative metric scheme where the metric is 0.
A new flavor of IS-IS includes extensions for MPLS traffic engineering and for other purposes. Running MPLS traffic engineering over IS-IS or taking advantage of these other extensions requires transitioning an IS-IS network to this new technology. This section describes these extensions and discusses two ways to migrate an existing IS-IS network from the standard ISO 10589 protocol towards this new flavor of IS-IS.
![]() |
Note Running MPLS traffic engineering over an existing IS-IS network requires a transition to a new flavor of IS-IS. However, running MPLS traffic engineering over OSPF does not require any similar network transition. |
New extensions for the IS-IS routing protocol serve the following purposes:
To serve these purposes, two new TLVs (type, length, and value objects) have been defined:
![]() |
Note For the purpose of briefness, these two new TLVs, 22 and 135, are referred to as "new-style TLVs." TLVs 2, 128, and 130 are referred to as "old-style TLVs." |
Both new TLVs have a fixed length part, followed by optional sub-TLVs. The metric space in these new TLVs has been enhanced from 6 bits to 24 or 32 bits. The sub-TLVs allow you to add new properties to links and prefixes. Traffic engineering is the first technology to use this ability to add new properties to a link.
Link-state routing protocols compute loop-free routes. This is guaranteed because all routers calculate their routing tables based on the same information from the link-state database (LSPDB).
There is a problem when some routers look at old-style TLVs and some routers look at new-style TLVs because the routers can base their SPF calculations on different information. This can cause routing loops.
The easiest way to migrate from old-style TLVs towards new-style TLVs would be to introduce a "flag day." A flag day means that you reconfigure all routers during a short period of time, during which service is interrupted. If the implementation of a flag day is not acceptable, a network administrator needs to find a viable solution for modern existing networks.
Network administrators have the following problems related to TLVs:
The new extensions allow a network administrator to use old-style TLVs in one area, and new-style TLVs in another area. However, this is not a solution for administrators who need or want to run their network in one single area.
The following sections describe two solutions to the network administrator's problems.
When you migrate from old-style TLVs towards new-style TLVs, you can advertise the same information twiceonce in old-style TLVs and once in new-style TLVs. This ensures that all routers can understand what is advertised.
There are three disadvantages to using that approach:
These problems can be largely solved easily by using
The main benefit to advertising the same information twice is that network administrators can use new-style TLVs before all routers in the network can understand them.
When transitioning from using IS-IS with old-style TLVs to new-style TLVs, you can perform the following actions:
For more information about how to perform these actions, see "TLV Configuration Commands."
Routers advertise only one style of TLVs at the same time, but can understand both types of TLVs during migration. There are two main benefits to this approach:
This method is useful when you are transitioning the whole network (or a whole area) to use wider metrics (that is, you want a router running IS-IS to generate and accept only new-style TLVs). For more information, see the metric-style wide command.
The disadvantage is that all routers must understand the new-style TLVs before any router can start advertising new-style TLVs. It does not help the second problem, where network administrators want to use the new-style TLVs for traffic engineering, while some routers are capable of understanding only old-style TLVs.
If you use the second solution, you can perform the following actions:
Cisco IOS has a new router isis command line interface (CLI) subcommand called metric-style. Once you are in the router IS-IS subcommand mode, you have the option to choose the following:
For more information about the commands, see the "Command Reference" section in this document.
You can use either of two transition schemes when you are using the metric-style commands:
IOS implements both transition solutions. Network administrators can choose the solution that suits them best. For test networks, the first solution is ideal (go to "First Solution for Transitioning an IS-IS Network to a New Technology"). For a real transition, both solutions can be used. The first solution requires fewer steps and less configuration. Only the largest networks that do not want to risk doubling their LSPDB during transition need to use the second solution (go to "Second Solution for Transitioning an IS-IS Network to a New Technology").
MPLS traffic engineering has the following benefits:
The following restrictions apply to MPLS traffic engineering:

Usage Guidelines
If you enter the metric-style wide command, a router generates and accepts only new-style TLVs. Therefore, the router uses less memory and other resources than it would if it generated both old-style and new-style TLVs.
This style is appropriate for enabling MPLS traffic engineering across an entire network.

Other commands and models could be appropriate if the new-style TLVs are desired for other reasons. For example, a network might require wider metrics, but might not use traffic engineering. |

Table 5 describes the fields displayed in this example.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
LSPID | LSP identifier. The first six octets form the System ID of the router that originated the link-state packet (LSP). The next octet is the pseudonode ID. When this byte is zero, the LSP describes links from the system. When it is nonzero, the LSP is a pseudonode LSP. This is similar to a router LSA in OSPF; the LSP describes the state of the originating router. For each LAN, the designated router for that LAN creates and floods a pseudonode LSP that describes all systems attached to that LAN. The last octet is the LSP number. If all the data cannot fit into a single LSP, the LSP is divided into multiple LSP fragments. Each fragment has a different LSP number. An asterisk (*) indicates that the system issuing this command originated the LSP. |
LSP Seq Num | LSP sequence number that allows other systems to determine if they received the latest information from the source. |
LSP Checksum | Checksum of the entire LSP packet. |
LSP Holdtime | Amount of time that the LSP remains valid, in seconds. An LSP holdtime of zero indicates that this LSP was purged and is being removed from all routers' link state databases (LSDBs). The value indicates how long the purged LSP will stay in the LSDB before it is completely removed. |
ATT | Attach bit. This bit indicates that the router is also a Level 2 router, and it can reach other areas. Level 1 routers use the Attach bit to find the closest Level 2 router. They install a default route to the closest Level 2 router. |
P | P bit. This bit detects if the IS can repair area partitions. Cisco and other vendors do not support area partition repair. |
OL | Overload bit. This bit determines if the IS is congested. If the overload bit is set, other routers do not use this system as a transit router when they calculate routes. Only packets for destinations directly connected to the overloaded router are sent to this router. |
Area Address | Reachable area addresses from the router. For Level-1 LSPs, these are the area addresses configured manually on the originating router. For Level-2 LSPs, these are all the area addresses for the area to which this router belongs. |
NLPID | Network Layer Protocol identifier. |
Hostname | Host name of the node. |
Router ID | Traffic engineering router identifier for the node. |
IP Address | IPv4 address for the interface. |
Metric | IS-IS metric for the cost of the adjacency between the originating router and the advertised neighbor, or the metric of the cost to get from the advertising router to the advertised destination (which can be an IP address, an end system (ES), or a connectionless network service (CLNS) prefix). |
Affinity | Link attribute flags that are being flooded. |

Release
Modification
Usage Guidelines
The affinity determines the attributes of the links that this tunnel will use (that is, the attributes for which the tunnel has an affinity). The attribute mask determines which link attribute the router should check. If a bit in the mask is 0, a link's attribute value or that bit is irrelevant. If a bit in the mask is 1, the link's attribute value and the tunnel's required affinity for that bit must match.
A tunnel can use a link if the tunnel affinity equals the link attributes and the tunnel affinity mask.
Any properties set to 1 in the affinity should also be 1 in the mask. In other words, affinity and mask should be set such that
tunnel_affinity = (tunnel_affinity and tunnel_affinity_mask)Examples
In the following example, the tunnel's affinity is set:
Router(config-if)# tunnel mpls traffic-eng affinity 0x0101 mask 0x303
Related Commands
Sets the attributes for the interface. Sets the mode of a tunnel to MPLS for traffic engineering.

Usage Guidelines
Currently, the only way to forward traffic onto a tunnel is by enabling this feature or by explicitly configuring forwarding (for example, with an interface static route).
Examples
In the following example, the instruction is given that if this tunnel is up, the IGP should use the tunnel in its enhanced SPF calculation:
Router(config-if)# tunnel mpls traffic-eng autoroute announce
In the following example, the instruction is given that if the IGP is using this tunnel in its enhanced SPF calculation, the IGP should give it an absolute metric of 10:
Router(config-if)# tunnel mpls traffic-eng autoroute metric absolute 10
In the following example, the tunnel requires 100 Kbps per second of bandwidth:
Router(config-if)# tunnel mpls traffic-eng bandwidth 100
Related Commands

Modification
Usage Guidelines
You can configure multiple path options for a single tunnel. For example, there can be several explicit path options and a dynamic option for one tunnel. Path setup preference is for lower (not higher) numbers, so option 1 is preferred.
Examples
In the following example, the tunnel is configured to use a named IP explicit path:
Router(config-if)# tunnel mpls traffic-eng path-option 1 explicit name test
Related Commands
Enters the subcommand mode for IP explicit paths and creates or modifies the specified path. Displays the configured IP explicit paths. Configures the setup and reservation priority for an MPLS traffic engineering tunnel.
Command
Description
To configure the setup and reservation priority for an MPLS traffic engineering tunnel, use the tunnel mpls traffic-eng priority interface configuration command. Use the no form of this command to disable this feature.
tunnel mpls traffic-eng priority setup-priority [ hold-priority ]
Syntax Description
setup-priority The priority used when signaling an LSP for this tunnel to determine what existing tunnels can be preempted. Valid values are from 0 to 7, where a lower number indicates a higher priority. Therefore, an LSP with a setup priority of 0 can preempt any LSP with a non-0 priority. hold-priority (Optional) The priority associated with an LSP for this tunnel to determine if it should be preempted by other LSPs that are being signaled. Valid values are from 0 to 7, where a lower number indicates a higher priority.
Defaults
setup-priority: 7
hold-priority: The same value as the setup priority
Command Modes
Interface configuration
Command History
12.0(5)S This command was introduced.
Release
Modification
Usage Guidelines
When an LSP is being signaled and an interface does not currently have enough bandwidth available for that LSP, the call admission software preempts lower-priority LSPs so that the new LSP can be admitted. (LSPs are preempted if that allows the new LSP to be admitted.)
In the above determination, the new LSP's priority is its setup priority and the existing LSP's priority is its hold priority. The two priorities make it possible to signal an LSP with a low setup priority (so that the LSP does not preempt other LSPs on setup) but a high hold priority (so that the LSP is not preempted after it is established).
Setup priority and hold priority are typically configured to be equal, and setup priority cannot be better (numerically smaller) than the hold priority.
Examples
In the following example, a tunnel is configured with a setup and hold priority of 1.
Router(config-if)# tunnel mpls traffic-eng priority 1

affinityAn MPLS traffic engineering tunnel's requirements on the attributes of the links it will cross. The tunnel's affinity bits and affinity mask bits must match the attribute bits of the various links carrying the tunnel.
call admission precedenceAn MPLS traffic engineering tunnel with a higher priority will, if necessary, preempt an MPLS traffic engineering tunnel with a lower priority. Tunnels that are harder to route are expected to have a higher priority and to be able to preempt tunnels that are easier to route. The assumption is that lower-priority tunnels will be able to find another path.
constraint-based routingProcedures and protocols that determine a route across a backbone take into account resource requirements and resource availability instead of simply using the shortest path.
flowA traffic load entering the backbone at one pointpoint of presence (POP)and leaving it from another, that must be traffic engineered across the backbone. The traffic load is carried across one or more LSP tunnels running from the entry POP to the exit POP.
head-endThe upstream, transmit end of a tunnel.
IGPInterior Gateway Protocol. The Internet protocol used to exchange routing information within an autonomous system. Examples of common IGPs include IGRP, OSPF, and RIP.
ip explicit pathA list of IP addresses, each representing a node or link in the explicit path.
IS-ISIntermediate System-to-Intermediate System. OSI link-state hierarchical routing protocol that calls for intermediate system (IS) routers to exchange routing information based on a single metric to determine network topology.
label-switched path (LSP)A sequence of hops (R0...Rn) in which a packet travels from R0 to Rn through label switching mechanisms. A label-switched path can be chosen dynamically, based on normal routing mechanisms, or through configuration.
label-switched path (LSP) tunnelA configured connection between two routers, in which label switching is used to carry the packets.
label switching router (LSR)A Layer 3 router that forwards packets based on the value of a label encapsulated in the packets.
LCACLink-level (per hop) call admission control.
LSALink-state advertisement. Flooded packet used by OSPF that contains information about neighbors and path costs. In IS-IS, receiving routers use LSAs to maintain their routing tables.
LSPSee label-switched path.
OSPF protocolOpen Shortest Path First. A link state routing protocol used for routing IP.
reoptimizationReevaluation of the most suitable path for a tunnel to use, given the specified constraints.
RSVPResource Reservation Protocol. A protocol for reserving network resources to provide quality of service guarantees to application flows.
tail-endThe downstream, receive end of a tunnel.
traffic engineeringTechniques and processes that cause routed traffic to travel through the network on a path other than the one that would have been chosen if standard routing methods were used.
