Description

Specify the maximum number of routers that an LSP can traverse. This limit can be applied to any of the following:

  • LSPs—The configured hop limit includes the ingress and egress routers. You can specify a hop limit for an LSP and for both primary and secondary paths.

  • Fast reroute detour—Specify the number of additional routers a fast reroute detour can traverse relative to the protected LSP. For example, if an LSP traverses 4 routers, any detour for the LSP can be no more than 10 router hops, including the ingress and egress routers.

  • Link protection bypass—Specify the maximum number of routers that a link protection bypass can traverse.
