|---|---|
Network Elements |
Summation of the elements (nodes, links, LSPs, SRLGs) in the model, computed from the client. If the values differ from the information reported in the Network Status (left pane) or in the network information table, it is because they have different sources of data for the calculations and different rates of synchronizing to the client. |

Aggregates the number of LSPs by hop count, per LSP type (PCE-initiated, PCC-delegated, PCC-controlled). In other words, it shows the number of LSPs of each type with three hops, with two hops, and so on. The LSP types are color coded according to the key at the bottom.
