Online Strategic TE Design
In the section “Tactical TE Design,” you saw that the farther away from a congested link TE tunnels are deployed, the more fine-grained your traffic manipulation can be, and the more likely you are to avoid congestion.
The logical progression of this model is to have a full mesh of TE LSPs at some level in the network, typically the WAN core routers. Doing so gives you the most control over the traffic that's entering your WAN, because you can manipulate traffic at all points where it enters the core.
This is the strategic method of deploying MPLS TE.
In this model, you decide where the boundaries of your TE cloud are, and you build a full mesh of TE LSPs between them. These TE-LSPs reserve bandwidth commensurate with ...
