Tony,

No, we’re trying to protect against unpredicted load. That doesn’t mean that TE 
was very badly provisioned, just that it wasn’t perfect. Whatever the root 
cause, congestion does happen and we want to try to address it.

Since very early days of RSVP-TE one fundamental recommendation we were giving 
operators was to always do policing/rate-limiting what goes into a TE-LSP on 
ingress. There is nothing more or less perfect about it - it is either in place 
or not. Such policing/rate-limiting would also auto adjust when auto-bandwidth 
has been enabled. So if the unexpected traffic entered the network it was 
either dropped or shaped on ingress.

<cb> Ingress rate limiting doesn’t adapt to load.  It just drops or passes (may 
remark in some cases contributing to congestion further).  Auto-bw does adapt 
but as has been previously mentioned, auto-b/w adjustments can take time on the 
order of minutes.  TTE is meant to bridge the time gap while auto-bw (or 
something like auto-bw) does it’s optimization.

--Colby

You are talking about unpredicted load suddenly appearing in the middle of the 
network and NOT as a result of already single network failure. I guess you are 
still confirming that you will not protect with TTE traffic which is already 
protected with vanilla FRR due to node/link failure.

Regards,
R.
