Abstract

The growing use of multimedia communication applications, with specific bandwidth and real-time delivery requirements has created the need for an integrated services Internet in which traditional best-effort datagram delivery can coexist with additional enhanced quality of service (QoS) delivery classes. Such classes provide data flows with QoS commitments with regard to bandwidth, packet loss, and delay through the reservation of network resources along the data path, which can be done using the Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP). This article is a tutorial on how RSVP can be used by end applications to ensure that they receive the end-to-end QoS that they require
