Mesh LSP name encoding and statistics

When the ingress LER signals the path of a mesh auto-LSP, it includes the name of the LSP and that of the path in the Session Name field of the Session Attribute object in the Path message. The encoding is as follows:

Session Name: <lsp-name::path-name>, where lsp-name component is encoded as follows:

TemplateName-DestIpv4Address-TunnelId

Where DestIpv4Address is the address of the destination of the auto-created LSP.

At ingress LER, the user can enable egress statistics for the auto-created mesh LSP by adding the following configuration to the LSP template:

config
    router
        [no] mpls
             lsp-template template-name mesh-p2p]
             no lsp-template template-name
                  [no] egress-statistics
                       accounting-policy policy-id
                       no accounting-policy
                       no] collect-stats

If there are no stat indexes available when an LSP is instantiated, the assignment is failed and the egress-statistics field in the show command for the LSP path is in the operational DOWN state but in admin UP state.

An auto-created mesh LSP can also have ingress statistics enabled on the egress LER as long as the user specifies the full LSP name following the above syntax.

config>router>mpls>ingress-statistics>lsp lsp-name sender ip-address
