Foil 2 RSVP Protocol Mechanisms

From Part II of RSVP Reservation Protocol CPS640 Internet and Multimedia Technologies -- Spring 98. by Marek Podgorny,Nancy McCracken
RSVP Messages
  • Two basic RSVP message types: Resv and Path.
    • Each receiver host sends RSVP reservation request (Resv) messages upstream towards the senders.
    • Resv messages must follow exactly the reverse of the routes the data packets will use, upstream to all the sender hosts included in the sender selection.
    • Resv messages are delivered to the sender hosts themselves so that the hosts can set up appropriate traffic control parameters for the first hop.
