Performance-Based Path Selection for Explicitly Routed Label Switched Paths Using TE Metric Extensions
RFC 7823, “Performance-Based Path Selection for Explicitly Routed Label Switched Paths Using TE Metric Extensions”, is an Informational document published in May 2016 by A. Atlas, J. Drake, S. Giacalone, S. Previdi. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
In certain networks, it is critical to consider network performance criteria when selecting the path for an explicitly routed RSVP-TE Label Switched Path (LSP). Such performance criteria can include latency, jitter, and loss or other indications such as the conformance to link performance objectives and non-RSVP TE traffic load. This specification describes how a path computation function may use network performance data, such as is advertised via the OSPF and IS-IS TE metric extensions (defined outside the scope of this document) to perform such path selections.
What “Informational” means
