Have no idea about Microtik but in other network systems there are many options
-where or not your IGP (OSPF in this case) has the ability to influence your LSP paths -flags/settings to enable recalculation of best route for an LSP to choose, how often if at all etc RSVP vs LDP (or even LDP inside of RSVP) can turn into a big debate – everyone’s networks have different needs and goals … “bouncing” LDP isn’t a solution though … From: Af [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jesse Dupont Sent: August 8, 2016 5:14 PM To: Animal Farm <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Control VPLS Path in Mikrotik? What Adam said. Might need to disable/reenable LDP in order for the new path to "take effect." We keep having an issue where we'll make administrative changes to OSPF (i.e. link cost) and LDP won't reflect the change (i.e. update the LSP) until we bounce LDP. Haven't done much troubleshooting so I don't know the cause, but if you change the costs and don't see the VPLS taking the right LSP, bounce LDP on at least the far end router.

I'm running basic MPLS over OSPF in a section of my network. I just setup a VPLS that has two path options: A: 1 hop; limited to 20 Mbps B: 2 hops; limited to 100 Mbps The system favors A (I believe since it is only 1 hop, but it is also lower cost in OSPF). Is there an easy way to send a VPLS over an alternate path (path B in my case) without setting up RSVP and Traffic Engineering everywhere? Will modifying OSPF path cost help?
