We use RSVP exclusively in our business access and core networks due to markets wanting the 50ms protection for services like cell backhaul and CES. The boxes we use are fairly small and cheap and handle RSVP fairly well (not C or J but A). We do break up our access networks into multiple

Why not FRR everything? The control plane hit is negligable even if your internet users wouldn't notice, care about, or even understand the improvements. FRRed traffic can follow very fancy routes eating bandwidth on the way. FRR for high loads is like sending trucks from a speedway to a

why would FRR LSP's take a route different than what the IGP would converge to. Because FRR uses a path from a different entry (PLP) to probably a different exit (say, next-next-hop). When normal LSP (either SPF or CSPF calculated) is a path from head-end to tail-end. Whether this happens

I think Pavel is speaking of the case where the PLR is more than one hop from the ingress node. It is very topology dependent but you can end up with bypasses or detours taking a different path than the IGP especially when its a few hops from the ingress node. Also ring topologies introduce

I think in large part it depends on your goal. I personally chose to keep everything out of my inet.0 table that wasn't core related. From this I gained a couple of things. 1. Only the PE's that I want to have the full internet table have it. 2. My inet.0 table is small and it makes
