What It Means

Sample Output 1 from ingress router R1 shows that LSP R1-to-R6 has an active route to R6 and the state is up.

Sample Output 2 from transit router R3 shows that there are two transit LSP sessions, one from R1 to R6 and the other from R6 to R1. Both LSPs are up.

Sample Output 3 from egress router R6 shows that the LSP is up and the active route is the primary route. The LSP is now traversing the network along the expected path, from R1 through R3 to R6, and the reverse LSP, from R6 through R3 to R1.
