[c-nsp] Does Cisco have container LSP?

[Alex K.]

Hello everyone,

Does Cisco gear (ASRs specifically), have container LSPs (similar to
Juniper, aka MPLS TE++)?

After a lot of research, I was unable to find something similar, while it
can benefit a particular network.

In addition, I'll be glad to hear everyone, on the MPLS TE++ matter.
Anything - your overall impression, issues, do and don't, day to day
operation etc.

Thank you in advance,
Have a great day.

Hi Alex,
I'm not aware of such feature in ASR9k/XR.
Though thinking about it I'm not sure it's the right solution to your
problem.

But that's just me I came to a conclusion (for now anyways) that I'd like my
traffic patterns to be predictable in all situations as that helps with
understanding what the network is doing and what the network is supposed to
be doing in various scenarios. And adding dynamic vectors like BW constrains
seem to overcomplicate things to the extreme.
That said I'd use DiffServ rather than IntServ.

But I'd love to hear convincing arguments for IntServ in MPLS backbone.

Hi Adam,

Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Those are my thoughts exactly. I do believe that probably, given a
particular network topology, that *might* be feasible, though I didn't
carried out any complete design work on that, so I say that with caution.
Either way, I'd love to hear some complete argument in favor of IntServ.
Some DiffServ designs get pretty close (accommodating all available paths),
hence begging that question.

Anyhow, the reason I asked, is somebody hinting we should consider this, as
possible design for a particular network. Which in turn, raised my
interest, since I'm too, not aware of such a solution even exists, on Cisco
gear. And after in depth research, I wasn't being able to find it, I turned
to community wisdom.

Have a great day,
Alex.
