What is it "tunnel mpls traffic-eng bandwidth" !!!

[Oleg Gnedykh]

Buenas dia, Amigos!

I want to limit the speed of the MPLS Tunnel between two sites. I'm going to create a MPLS tunnel and apply

"tunnel mpls traffic-eng bandwidth X"

Can anybody answer me, it can really limit the speed or only reserve bandwidth?

!Hasta la vista, Amigos!

Hello Oleg,

the command is only used during the tunnel setup and has administrative meaning. It is used by RSVP for reservation of resources.  It does not provide any form of rate control over the tunnel.

You need to control how much traffic you put on the tunnel on the tail end router.

Hope to help
