Concerning MPLS paths

2009-04-27 Thread Saqib Ilyas
Hello everyone In the context of a single service provider network running MPLS, if a number of bandwidth constrained LSPs are passing through a particular node and the sum of the bandwidth constraints for the LSPs is X Mb/s, then is X the upper bound on the traffic through that node, or is it

Furthermore, I was also wondering, if the bandwidth constraints are upper bounds, what does the traffic distribution typically look like at an LSR? We're interested in traffic within a single service provider, non-Internet traffic. Perhaps most service providers set aside some (dynamic?) pool for
