Dynamic signaling of bypass tunnel based on bandwidth threshold at a point of local repair

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, the instructions comprising:

• one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
• receive information that identifies a bandwidth value of a primary label-switched path (LSP) that includes a protected link or a protected node;
• determine a bypass LSP available bandwidth threshold based on the bandwidth value;
• determine a set of path bandwidth values associated with a set of paths;
• compare the set of path bandwidth values and the bypass LSP available bandwidth threshold;
• select a path, of the set of paths, based on comparing the set of path bandwidth values and the bypass LSP available bandwidth threshold;
• wherein the one or more instructions that cause the one or more processors to select the path, cause the one or more processors to:
• determine that none of the paths, of the set of paths, has a bandwidth value that satisfies the bypass LSP available bandwidth threshold,
• identify a candidate path, of the set of paths, that has a greatest available bandwidth value, and
• select the identified candidate path, as the path, based on the identified candidate path having the greatest available bandwidth value;
• generate a bypass LSP using the path, wherein the bypass LSP is to be used when a link of the primary LSP fails,
• wherein the bypass LSP is generated without reserving bandwidth of the path;
• and
• provide, based on a link of the primary LSP failing, network traffic using the bypass LSP.

A method, comprising:

• receiving, by a device, information that identifies a bandwidth value of a primary label-switched path (LSP) that includes a protected link or a protected node;
• determining, by the device, a bypass LSP available bandwidth threshold based on the bandwidth value;
• determining, by the device, a set of path bandwidth values associated with a set of paths;
• comparing, by the device, the set of path bandwidth values and the bypass LSP available bandwidth threshold;
• selecting, by the device, a path, of the set of paths, based on comparing the set of path bandwidth values and the bypass LSP available bandwidth threshold;
• wherein selecting the path comprises:
• determining, by the device, that none of the paths, of the set of paths, has a bandwidth value that satisfies the bypass LSP available bandwidth threshold,
• identifying, by the device, a candidate path, of the set of paths, that includes a greatest available bandwidth value, and
• selecting, by the device, the identified candidate path, as the path, based on the identified candidate path including the greatest available bandwidth value;
• and
• generating, by the device, a bypass LSP using the path and without reserving bandwidth of the path, wherein the bypass LSP is used when a link of the primary LSP fails.
