Abstract

See full text

In one embodiment, Traffic Engineering (TE) is configured on a provider edge device to customer edge device (PE-CE) link extending from a provider edge device (PE) in a provider network to a customer edge device (CE) in a customer network. TE information regarding the TE-configured PE-CE link is conveyed from the PE to one or more other nodes in the provider network. TE information regarding one or more other TE-configured PE-CE links is received from one or more other nodes. A TE database (TED) is expanded to include information for the one or more other TE-configured PE-CE links. TE is applied to a customer edge device to customer edge device (CE-CE) path using at least some of the information for the one or more other TE-configured PE-CE links included in the TED.
