LSP Specification File This attribute indicates whether the network LSPs should be configured according to the text file specified. You can update the text file by clicking OK in the LSP Browser. Updating the file recreates the file based on the current network LSP settings, including LSPs that might not have been in the original file (such as those created manually).

Traffic Trunk Profiles This attribute specifies out-of-profile actions and traffic classes for traffic trunks in the network. Traffic trunks capture traffic characteristics such as peak rate, average rate, and average burst size. The default Trunk Details setting configures a trunk with a value of

32,000 bits/sec for maximum and average bit rate and 32,000 bits for maximum burst size.

EXP <--> Drop Precedence and EXP <--> PHB These attributes specify how EXP bits in the MPLS shim header are translated into diffserv information at each LSR. For E-LSPs, LSRs determine Per Hop Behavior (PHB), while on L-LSPs, they determine Drop Precedence. Use the default setting unless you are analyzing the effects of QoS.
