Foil 10 Merging Flowspecs

From Part II of RSVP Reservation Protocol CPS640 Internet and Multimedia Technologies -- Spring 98. by Marek Podgorny,Nancy McCracken


a single physical interface may receive multiple reservation requests from different next hops for the same session and with the same filter spec
RSVP should install only one reservation on that interface. The installed reservation should have an effective flowspec that is the "largest" of the flowspecs requested by the different next hops
Similarly, a Resv message forwarded to a previous hop should carry a flowspec that is the "largest" of the flowspecs requested by the different next hops
in certain cases the "smallest" is taken rather than the largest.
