  • 1.  LSP never brought down forever when negative available bandwidth happened

    Hi, everyone,

    there's an issue that bother me for a long time, here's the topology:

    R1----(2*100m---ae0)----R2----(2*100m---ae1)-----R3

    R1, R2 and R3 connect each other directly with double 100m links in an aggregate interface, then I launch the MPLS TE:

    label-switched-path r1-to-r3 {
        to 3.3.3.3;
        bandwidth 150m;      ## here the reserved bw=150m
        primary path1;
    }

     

    so at the first time, the rsvp session is up and everything is ok:

    MX> show rsvp session
    Ingress RSVP: 1 sessions
    To From State Rt Style Labelin Labelout LSPname
    3.3.3.3 1.1.1.1 Up 0 1 FF - 305424 r1-to-r3
    Total 1 displayed, Up 1, Down 0

     

    vMX-1> show rsvp interface
    RSVP interface: 9 active
    Active Subscr- Static Available Reserved Highwater
    Interface State resv iption BW BW BW mark
    fe-0/0/0.0 Up 1 100% 200Mbps 50Mbps 150Mbps 150Mbps

     

    however, when i admin down the memberlink of an aggregate interface between R1 and R2 using:

    set interface fe-0/0/0 disable

    the unexpected thing happened, i thought the LSP will down because of insufficient bandwidth, but it doesn't.

    when i show rsvp session, it's still there:

    MX> show rsvp session
    Ingress RSVP: 1 sessions
    To From State Rt Style Labelin Labelout LSPname
    3.3.3.3 1.1.1.1 Up 0 1 FF - 305424 r1-to-r3
    Total 1 displayed, Up 1, Down 0

     

    but i can see the error log using show mpls lsp name r1-to-r3 extensive command:

    28 Sep 17 05:39:59.873 CSPF failed: no route toward 1.1.12.2[23 times]   # the retry time increasing all the time
    27 Sep 17 05:16:51.991 Negative available bandwidth 1.1.12.1
    26 Sep 17 05:14:10.544 CSPF failed: no route toward 1.1.12.2[91 times]

     

    and then I lookup the rsvp interface using show rsvp interface on R1, another strange thing happened, it shows an negative number:

    vMX-1> show rsvp interface
    RSVP interface: 9 active
    Active Subscr- Static Available Reserved Highwater
    Interface State resv iption BW BW BW mark
    fe-0/0/0.0 Up 1 100% 100Mbps -50Mbps 150Mbps 150Mbps

     

    i'm not sure whether this phenomenon is correct or not, actually when i use cisco ios, the LSP went down immediately.

     

    Could anybody help me? thank you so much !

    Hi, 

     

    This is expected behaivour. In case you need immediate teardown then use preemption aggressive.
