How do I collect bit rate statistics using 7250 IXR?
Purpose
NSP can use Flow Collectors to collect and process 7250 IXR gen 1 bit rate telemetry over SR-TE and RSVP-TE LSP hops. Bit rate is calculated on LSPs for transit routers only at the next-hop ingress, and not on edge or head-end routers. The BR statistics are viewable in Path Control, LSPs in the Bandwidth column.
The following limitations affect this use case:
-
Flow collection must be configured and running in the NSP deployment.
-
Strict hop adjacency SID LSPs only (RRO must be only ADJ-SIDs). Supports SR-TE policies.
-
Only Adjacency SIDs and Binding SIDs are supported in the LSP Path. The use of Node SIDs is not supported. The Explicit Route Strategy of Compressed can not be used for LSP Paths originating on a 7250 IXR gen 1 that require statistics collection.
-
Parallel LSP paths cannot have their bandwidth determined, they must either be set to zero or split evenly.
-
Due to the fact that interface stats are being used, the label stack cannot be sampled on the final hop or for single hop LSPs.
-
The 7250 IXR does not support outputting egress MPLS Cflowd Stats from the head-end. Cflowd must be collected on the head-end neighbor ingress.
-
IPFIX standard is limited to 10 labels, so ADJ-SIDs and service/entropy labels cannot exceed 10.
-
Collection of flow records from multi-vendor nodes is not supported. It may be possible to collect statistics further downstream where there is a higher chance of not being able to distinguish parallel LSP Paths and incorrectly accounting for the proportion of traffic carried by each LSP Path.
