Add a Bandwidth Sizing Task
The bandwidth sizing task periodically sends a new planned bandwidth for bandwidth sizing-enabled tunnels (also known as label-switched paths or LSPs) to the Path Computation Server (PCS). The PCS determines whether it needs to provision the new planned bandwidth with a path that satisfies the new bandwidth requirement.

Aggregation Statistic |
From the list, select an aggregation statistic option. The aggregation statistic works together with the task execution recurrence interval (the period of bandwidth adjustment) that you specify in the Schedule step in this wizard. The Path Computation Element (PCE) aggregates the LSP traffic for the interval based on the aggregation statistic you select, and uses that information to calculate the new planned bandwidth. The available options are:
