Policy-Based Tunnel Selection
Policy-Based Tunnel Selection (PBTS) provides a mechanism that lets you direct traffic into specific TE
tunnels based on different criteria.
PBTS is a special case in UCMP calculation. It uses load share command to configure weight. The UCMP
algorithm normalizes each class independently and it uses max_path from PD specific max_tunnels_per_class,
which is 64 for ASR9K. UCMP with PBTS can have more total_paths (buckets) than the supported number
of paths (buckets) for all Forwarding Classes (FCs), which is 64 for ASR9K.
All other XR platform sets 8 buckets per FC and 64 buckets for all 8 (0-7) FCs. After normalization, the total
number buckets do not exceed platform limit.
Example
The show cef ipv6 command displays the PBTS class information in the following output.
Router# show cef ipv6 97:: detail
