Hello all,

I need some help with traffic engineering.

I like to make things simple. If I were to describe traffic engineering as a 
two phase process,( 1. putting traffic where you want it, 2. Doing the math ) 
would that describe the two basic functions of TE?

1) Putting traffic where you want it could be RSVP-TE or CR-LDP.

2) Doing the math, 

a) Starting out with a bit/ link budget like a check book balance and 
removing all the cost of the OSI layers.  Calculate the average overhead for 
each layer and subtract from the bit budget.  Calculate the cost of the 
different types of data.

b) For voice calculations use the Erlang tables to estimate the needed 
channels.

I would like any feedback or help you can give me on this subject

Thank you
Rick Gallaher
