You will only see allocations once you have TE tunnels (sessions)
actually setup.

Without tunnels setup, but RSVP-TE enabled on the interfaces, all you
will see the maximum bandwidth that RSVP-TE can allocate across said
interfaces.

Remember that RSVP-TE is purely control plane. So it doesn't matter if
you signal an LSP with 10Mbps or 10Gbps. It will not determine whether a
link (or LSP) will actually pass 10Mbps or 10Gbps worth of traffic. It's
just a reference.

Back when I used to RSVP-TE, I'd signal 10Gbps links as 10Mbps. That
gave me plenty of granularity to scale up without having an unwieldy
configuration.
