Forwarding DS-TE Traffic Down a Tunnel
Chapter 5 covered three different methods of forwarding traffic down a tunnel:
Static routes
Policy-based routing (PBR)
Autoroute
How do you forward traffic down a DS-TE tunnel? The only thing different between regular TE tunnels and DS-TE tunnels is the subpool from which they reserve bandwidth. How-ever, there are some things you need to think about when trying to get traffic to a DS-TE tunnel.
All three of these methods work the same way on DS-TE tunnels as they do on regular TE tunnels. Out of the three, autoroute is generally the easiest method to use; it requires only one command on the headend, and all traffic destined for or behind the tail is sent down the tunnel.
