Configuring MPLS Statistics for Automatic Bandwidth Allocation

To enable automatic bandwidth allocation, you first need to configure MPLS statistics. Include the auto-bandwidth option for the statistics statement. You can also use the interval option to specify the interval for calculating the average bandwidth usage.

These settings apply to all LSPs configured on the router on which you have also configured the auto-bandwidth statement at the [edit protocols mpls label-switched-path label-switched-path-name] hierarchy level. You can also set the adjustment interval on specific LSPs.

Note: To prevent unnecessary resignaling of LSPs, it is best to configure an MPLS automatic bandwidth statistics interval of no more than one third the corresponding LSP adjustment interval. For example, if you configure a value of 30 seconds for the interval statement at the [edit protocols mpls statistics] hierarchy level, you should configure a value of no more than 90 seconds for the adjust-interval statement at the [edit protocols mpls label-switched-path label-switched-path-name auto-bandwidth] hierarchy level. See also Configuring the Automatic Bandwidth Allocation Interval.

To configure the MPLS and automatic bandwidth allocation statistics, include the statistics statement:

statistics {
auto-bandwidth;
file filename <files number> <no-stamp> <replace> <size size> <world-readable | no-world-readable>;
interval seconds;
}

You can include this statement at the following hierarchy levels:
