Implementing MPLS Traffic Engineering
two DS-TE modes: Pre-standard and IETF. Pre-standard DS-TE uses the Cisco proprietary mechanisms for
RSVP signaling and IGP advertisements. This DS-TE mode does not interoperate with third-party vendor
equipment. Pre-standard DS-TE is enabled only after configuring the sub-pool bandwidth values on
MPLS-enabled interfaces.
Pre-standard Diff-Serve TE mode supports a single bandwidth constraint model a Russian Doll Model (RDM)
with two bandwidth pools: global-pool and sub-pool.
Before You Begin
The following prerequisites are required to configure a Pre-standard DS-TE tunnel.
• You must have a router ID for the neighboring router.
• Stable router ID is required at either end of the link to ensure that the link is successful. If you do not
assign a router ID to the routers, the system defaults to the global router ID. Default router IDs are subject
to change, which can result in an unstable link.
Configuration Example
This example configures a pre-standard DS-TE tunnel.
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router # configure
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# rsvp interface HundredGigabitEthernet 0/0/0/3
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-rsvp-if)# bandwidth 100 150 sub-pool 50
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-rsvp-if)# exit
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# interface tunnel-te 2
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-if)# signalled bandwidth sub-pool 10
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# commit
Verification
Use the show mpls traffic-eng topology command to verify the pre-standard DS-TE tunnel configuration.

Configuring an IETF DS-TE Tunnel Using RDM
IETF DS-TE mode uses IETF-defined extensions for RSVP and IGP. This mode interoperate with third-party
vendor equipment.
IETF mode supports multiple bandwidth constraint models, including Russian Doll Model (RDM) and
Maximum Allocation Model (MAM), both with two bandwidth pools. In an IETF DS-TE network, identical
bandwidth constraint models must be configured on all nodes.
