Abstract :
This paper presents a comparative analysis of two resource reservation protocols, ST-II proposed by Topolcic (1990) and resource reservation protocol (RSVP) proposed by Zhang, Braden, Estrin, Herzog and Jamin (1994) in support of an integrated services packet network (ISPN). The authors use simulations to examine the network-wide resource requirements for each protocol to support a number of application communication styles, across a range of group sizes and membership distributions. They also present a comparison of the protocol features to accommodate network and group membership dynamics
