MPLS Static LSP with Member-Link NH for AE Bundle

In a network where aggregate Ethernet (AE) bundles are in use, an aggregate link could be a bundle of any number of physical links. The traffic sent over these AE bundle interfaces is load-balanced and might be forwarded on any of the member links of an AE interface. The traffic can take any physical link based on the hash defined for load-balancing the traffic, which makes it difficult to isolate which links have gone bad or are dropping the traffic. One way to test the forwarding path available in the network is to use a specific static label for each AE member link and create a single-hop label-switched path (LSP) using the mentioned static label with the next hop pointing to a specific member link of the AE interface. The default label operation for the static LSPs must be pop and forward. When a packet hits these labeled routes, the packet is forwarded to a specific member link. A unique label is used to identify the member link. These labels are referred to as adjacency segment identifiers (SIDs) and are statically provisioned.
