TE LSP (Traffic Engineering Label Switched Path)

A TE LSP (Traffic Engineering Label Switched Path) is a dedicated route within a telecommunications network, specifically designed to carry data traffic efficiently. Think of it as a specialized pipeline carved through the network infrastructure, which ensures that certain data streams—like video calls or critical business information—take the most reliable, optimized path. The "label" helps routers identify and steer traffic along this route, enabling better control and resource management. Overall, TE LSP improves network performance, reduces congestion, and guarantees quality of service for high-priority data flows.
