Describes how Cisco Crosswork Planning simulates RSVP-TE routing. Unless otherwise noted, LSPs refer to RSVP-TE LSPs. Note that Cisco Crosswork Planning does not distinguish between LDP and RSVP-TE LSPs.
Dynamic LSP routing and CSPF
Explains how dynamic RSVP LSP routing uses CSPF, describes related MPLS interface properties, LSP reservation views, and setup bandwidth initialization.
RSVP LSP path attributes and behavior
Lists and explains the key attributes of RSVP LSP paths and describes how their configuration influences route selection and simulation scenarios.
Named paths and explicit LSP routing
Introduces named paths for explicit RSVP LSP routing and outlines hop examples plus procedures to create and edit named paths.
Actual paths
Describes how actual paths are used in LSP routing simulations and how their states affect overall MPLS routing predictions.
Affinities
Introduces affinity-based RSVP LSP routing and outlines affinity creation, interface assignment, association rules, routing examples, and LSP mesh usage for simulations.
Global simulation parameters
Outlines global simulation parameters that affect RSVP LSP routing, rerouting, bandwidth handling, and simulation behavior across MPLS planning workflows and analyses.
Fast Reroute (FRR) simulations
Explains how Fast Reroute (FRR) simulations work, including FRR fundamentals, routing during failures, protection mechanisms, and simulation outcomes.

Provides an example that illustrates how reservable bandwidth constraints affect RSVP LSP routing and rerouting during simulation analysis workflows.
P2MP LSPs
Introduces P2MP LSP simulations and outlines bandwidth behavior, demand routing, creation requirements, sub-LSP workflows, demand creation, and deletion behavior rules.
Unresolved LSP destinations and hops
Details how unresolved LSP destinations and hops appear after discovery and how they affect RSVP-TE LSP configuration review and cleanup.
