Hi,

Sorry for the basic question on TE...

In the below output, im seeing two path info, one is RSVP and other is CSPF info. Out of two, will traffic always prefer the RSVP path or CSPF path ????

In my case im seeing the traffic is preferring RSVP path..

Arunkumar,

The first explicit route is the one that has actually been signalled by RSVP.

The second one is, as indicated, the shortest unconstrained path (non-cspf). This explicit route might or might not be the same as the outcome of the CSPF. In the case where your tunnel is configured without any constraint (no specific BW, attributes or explicit path for instance), the two explicit route will be the same.
