The techniques described herein may reduce global repairs in Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Label-Switched Paths (LSPs) by using an aggregated link bundle as a primary path when multiple paths are available. As an example, a router may determine a respective interface type for each path of a plurality of paths; determine, based on the respective interface types, whether one or more paths from the plurality of paths satisfies a set of constraints that are configured such that an aggregated link bundle interface type is preferred over a single link interface type; determine a preferred path based on whether the set of constraints were satisfied; configure a routing table of the router with the preferred path as a LSP to the destination; and send, based on the routing table, one or more packets using an interface of the router associated with the LSP.
