What is Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP)?
One of the key IETF protocols that communicates the QoS requirements for a given application to a device in the path of the transmission. A reservation for the required bandwidth is allowed or denied depending on the current network conditions. By itself, Resource ReSerVation Protocol provides a way to reserve capacity one device at a time. In a centrally managed QoS system, Resource ReSerVation Protocol can be implemented according to policies that apply across the network. Resource ReSerVation Protocol is expected to be utilized predominantly in the campus-level networks. RSVP is designed to operate within the framework of current and future routing protocols. An RSVP process consults the local routing database(s) to obtain routes. Routing protocols determine where packets get forwarded; RSVP is only concerned with the Quality-of-Service for those packets that are forwarded in accordance with a routing protocol.
