[c-nsp] MPLS-TE and bandwidth reservation

[victor]

Hello

I'm experimenting with MPLS-TE and have a question about reservation of  
the bandwidth on an interface. It's more or less clear that each tunnel  
can receive the necessary bandwidth and that it is consequently subtracted  
 from the overall bandwidth configured for the interface. Therefore there  
can only be a finite number of TE-tunnels going through an interface. My  
question is: What will happen if I run a generic IP traffic over this  
interface in addition to  MPLS-TE tunnels? How will this IP flow affect  
creation of new TE tunnels? What will have higher priority (or what will  
be dropped/rerouted first) when the interface bandwidth reaches it's max  
physical capacity?
It seems that with an abundance of information about MPLS I can't find  
neither exact answer to these questions nor the algorithm behind this  
particular process so any references to  white-papers, books, etc are  
greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.
Victor.
