LSP Specification File This attribute indicates whether the network LSPs
should be configured according to the text file specified. You can update the
text file by clicking OK in the LSP Browser. Updating the file recreates the file
based on the current network LSP settings, including LSPs that might not
have been in the original file (such as those created manually).
Traffic Trunk Profiles This attribute specifies out-of-profile actions and
traffic classes for traffic trunks in the network. Traffic trunks capture traffic
characteristics such as peak rate, average rate, and average burst size. The
default Trunk Details setting configures a trunk with a value of
32,000 bits/sec for maximum and average bit rate and 32,000 bits for
maximum burst size.

EXP <--> Drop Precedence and EXP <--> PHB These attributes specify
how EXP bits in the MPLS shim header are translated into diffserv
information at each LSR. For E-LSPs, LSRs determine Per Hop Behavior
(PHB), while on L-LSPs, they determine Drop Precedence. Use the default
setting unless you are analyzing the effects of QoS.
