Foil 12 RSVP Operational Principles (Continued)

From Reservation Protocol Large Web Application Class, CPS600/640 Fall 1997 -- Fall Semester 97. by Marek Podgorny * See also color IMAGE
RSVP reserves resources for simplex data streams, i.e., it reserves resources in only one direction on a link
  • A sender is logically distinct from a receiver. However, the same application may act as both sender and receiver.
RSVP mechanisms provide a general facility for creating and maintaining distributed reservation state across a mesh of multicast delivery paths.
  • RSVP transfers reservation parameters as opaque data (except for certain well-defined operations on the data), which it simply passes to admission control and to the Packet Scheduler and Classifier for interpretation.
