2.20.1 Feature Description

The following points describes the work flow of the Resv and Max link TPS:
  • The Resv Link TPS is the reserved bandwidth of specific link and it is the guaranteed bandwidth for each Link in a Linkset.
  • The sum of the Reserved TPS values for all the links does not exceed the MP capacity.
  • The Max Link TPS is the maximum TPS that can be utilized by Link if bandwidth is available on the MP.
  • The Max link TPS value must be greater than the Resv link TPS. And the value is smaller than 10 K TPS for a link.
  • The Resv link TPS and Max link TPS cannot have same values.
  • A link is never allowed to exceed the Max link TPS to avoid the risk of entering congestion.
  • The Max Link TPS is the maximum limit of a link. However, it is not always true.
  • Traffic up to Reserved TPS is expected. It may go up to Max link TPS based on the available bandwidth. However, it is not always true.
  • Any unused MP capacity available, is shared among all the remaining links.
  • For MTP2 , Resv link TPS value and Max link TPS parameter value must be same.
  • vSTP enforces TPS distribution up to Resv link TPS value for the in-service links.
  • An MP is never allowed to exceed the Max MP TPS to avoid risk of entering congestion
