Create a latency-based path profile

Purpose

Use this procedure to configure a path profile for latency-based optimization, using the Path Control view.

This procedure is based on the following:

the procedure to configure a path profile policy in the NSP Path Control and Simulation Guide

For example, the reference procedures in NSP Release 24.4 are:

Note: If LSPs were created with path profile IDs before the creation of path profiles, an error message is displayed showing that a path profile or association policy is configured on the path but missing on NSP. This is expected and will resolve when the profiles are created.

Steps


1	Log in to the NSP.
2	From the Path Control, Path Profiles view, click Create Policy . The Create Path Profile policy form opens.
3	Configure the required parameters: the Profile ID parameter must match the profile ID number configured for the LSPs in Step 13 of Provision MPLS LSPs using Device Configuration. Optimize on (Objective) must be Latency Bandwidth Strategy must be Telemetry the Max Latency and Latency Threshold parameters must be configured. In this example, the latency threshold value is set to 90,000 microseconds (90 milliseconds). Therefore, if a particular link latency exceeds this value (i.e. 90,000 microseconds, NSP's Path Control will attempt to re-route the LSPs which are using the link.
4	Click CREATE. The Path Profile policy is created. End of steps
