Configuring the Bandwidth Value for LSPs
Each LSP has a bandwidth value. This value is included in the sender’s Tspec field in RSVP path setup messages. You can specify a bandwidth value in bits per second. If you configure more bandwidth for an LSP, it should be able to carry a greater volume of traffic. The default bandwidth is 0 bits per second.
A nonzero bandwidth requires that transit and egress routers reserve capacity along the outbound links for the path. The RSVP reservation scheme is used to reserve this capacity. Any failure in bandwidth reservation (such as failures at RSVP policy control or admission control) might cause the LSP setup to fail. If there is insufficient bandwidth on the interfaces for the transit or egress routers, the LSP is not established.
To specify a bandwidth value for a signaled LSP, include the bandwidth statement:
For a list of hierarchy levels at which you can include this statement, see the statement summary section for this statement.
