What It Means

This LSP error event indicates that the RSVP message has looped. The IP address of the router that detected the loop precedes the LSP event.

Cause

The LSP error event is generated as part of a PathErr or ResvErr RSVP message when the packet goes through a router that is already listed in the Record Route Object (RRO). The RRO keeps a record of every address that the RSVP Path or Resv message transits.

Action

Examine the strict hop addresses or examine the path in the ERO to determine the cause of the loop.
