Preempting RSVP Sessions

Whenever bandwidth is insufficient to handle all RSVP sessions, you can control the preemption of RSVP sessions. By default, an RSVP session is preempted only by a new higher-priority session.

To always preempt a session when the bandwidth is insufficient, include the preemption statement with the aggressive option:

preemption aggressive;

You can include this statement at the following hierarchy levels:

[edit protocols rsvp]
[edit logical-systems logical-system-name protocols rsvp]

To disable RSVP session preemption, include the preemption statement with the disabled option:

preemption disabled;

To return to the default (that is, preempt a session only for a new higher-priority session), include the preemption statement with the normal option:

preemption normal;

You can include this statement at the following hierarchy levels:

[edit protocols rsvp]
[edit logical-systems logical-system-name protocols rsvp]
