The basic RSVP reservation model is "one pass":
-
This scheme provides no easy way for a receiver to find out the resulting end-to-end service.
-
RSVP supports an enhancement to one-pass service known as "One Pass With Advertising" (OPWA)
-
With OPWA, RSVP control packets are sent downstream to gather information that may be used to predict the end- to-end QoS. The results are delivered by RSVP to the receiver hosts. The results may then be used by the receiver to dynamically adjust the reservation request.
