Automatic Routing
Purpose
Automatic Routing automatically creates a complete LSP based on the cheapest route. This means the routing engine takes into account the administrative cost of the link, which is set via section management or via NE. The selected path between Initiator and Terminator, therefore has the lowest overall link cost in the network.
If Service Profile is used, the automatic routing engine completes the path based on the service profile’s configured Automatic Routing Parameters. Please refer to Advanced Routing section for details.
Please note:
If distinct links and distinct HW (MPLS-TP interfaces on distinct Core Unit HW) are available, protected tunnels are routed over distinct HW, provided the section cost of the respective links is appropriate.
