Traffic Engineering (TE) provides a mechanism to network administrators to control the path that a data packet takes, bypassing the standard routing model which uses routes along the shortest path. Traffic engineered paths are generally computed on the head-end routers of the topology based on various constraints (e.g. minimum bandwidth, affinity) configured for those paths and attributes (e.g available bandwidth, color) received from devices in the network topology. IS-IS Traffic Engineering (IS-IS TE) feature extends IS-IS protocol in EOS to carry TE attributes as part of its Link State Protocol Data Units (LSPs). Note that IS-IS in EOS only acts as a carrier for TE attributes and it is not used by any processing (e.g. SPF).

If a product has shutdown support in image A and bootup support in a later image B, then SSU upgrade cannot be performed from image A to any images earlier than image B, including image A itself. However, upgrading from image A to image B onwards is allowed.
