RSVP-TE preemption policy

The different preemption priorities are defined in the RSVP-TE protocol (Awduche, 2001). A higher priority LSP may preempt a lower priority LSP that is then re-routed though a new path as if it was setup after the higher priority LSP.

The setup priority value determines the level of capability of that LSP to preempt another and a holding priority value determines the level of capability of a LSP to resit to a preemption. Both values range from 0 (highest priority) to 7 (lowest priority).
