Point
• Real-time applications
• Interactive applications are sensitive to packet delays
(telephone)
• Non-interactive applications can adapt to a wider
range of packet delays (audio, video broadcasts)
• Guarantee of maximum delay is useful

Document is only useful
when it is completely
received. This means
average packet delay is
important, not maximum
packet delay.
• Elastic applications
• Interactive data transfer (e.g. HTTP, FTP)
• Sensitive to the average delay, not to the distribution tail
• Bulk data transfer (e.g. mail and news delivery)
• Delay insensitive
• Best effort works well

Discussion
• What is the problem?
• Different applications have different delay, bandwidth,
and jitter needs
• Some applications are very sensitive to changing
network conditions: the packet arrival time distribution
is important
• Solutions
• Make applications adaptive
• Build more flexibility into network

Method for application to specify desired QoS to net
Switch state establishment protocol (signaling)
Multicast friendly, receiver-oriented
Simplex reservations (single direction)
• Why run RSVP?
• Allows precise allocation of network resources
• Guarantees on quality of service
• Heterogeneous bandwidth support for multicast

RSVP Design Criteria
• Heterogeneous receivers (multicast)
• Varying bandwidth needs

•
Merging of resource reservations
Dynamic membership
Minimize control protocol overhead
Soft state in routers
• Reservations timeout if not refreshed periodically
• Adapt to routing changes gracefully:
reestablish reservations

RSVP and Integrated services
• The best-effort service provided by the original Internet design allows
congestion-caused end-to end delays to grow indefinitely.
• To better support real-time applications, e.g., packet voice, packet
video, and distributed simulation, an extension to the Internet
architecture has been developed.
• This extension is known as integrated services, and a network that
supports it is called an integrated services packet network (ISPN).
• With integrated services, an end system can request a particular
quality of service (QoS), e.g., bounded end-to-end queueing delay, for
a particular data flow.
Providing the QoS generally requires reservation of network resources
in routers hosts along the path(s) of the flow as well as in the end
hosts.
• In order to provide a requested QoS, the nodes of an ISPN must
perform reservation setup, admission control, policy control, packet
scheduling, and packet classification functions.
• Figure 1 illustrates these functions in an ISPN router.

Functioning of RSVP
• Each node capable of resource reservation has several local procedures
for reservation setup and enforcement (see Figure 1).
• Policy control determines whether the user has administrative
permission to make the reservation.
• In the future, authentication, access control and accounting for
reservation will also be implemented by policy control.
• Admission control keeps track of the system resources and determines
whether the node has sufficient resources to supply the requested QoS.
• The RSVP daemon checks with both procedures. If either check fails,
the RSVP program returns an error notification to the application that
originated the request.
• If both checks succeed, the RSVP daemon sets parameters in the
packet classifier and packet scheduler to obtain the requested QoS.
• The packet classifier determines the QoS class for each packet and the
packet scheduler orders packet transmission to achieve the promised
QoS for each stream.

What is a flow?
• Equivalent packets by some classification
• RSVP: Set of packets traversing a network element that
are all covered by the same QoS request
• Packet classifier determines which packets
belong to which flows
• IPv6 includes a flow label to ease classification
The ReSerVation Protocol
13
Describing and Identifying a Flow
• Flowspec defines traffic parameters
• Traffic parameters: bandwidth, buffering requirements
• Filterspec identifies packets in flow
• Simplest filter: Source, Dest address/port pair
• Data filter: classifies packets according to contents
The ReSerVation Protocol

Restrictions on Reservations
• Admissions
• Is bandwidth available?
• Policy
• Permissions
• Pricing issues
The ReSerVation Protocol
15
Resource Reservation Model
• Senders advertise using flowspecs
• RSVP daemons forward advertisements to
receivers, update available bandwidth,
minimum delay
• Receivers reservations use flowspec,
filterspec combination (flow descriptor)
• Sender/receiver notified of changes
• Reservations are merged in multicast case
The ReSerVation Protocol

Reservation Setup
.
• A reservation setup protocol is used to pass the QoS
request originating in an end-system
• to each router along the data path, or in the case of
multicasting, to each router along the branches of the
delivery tree.
• An RSVP reservation request is basically composed of a
flowspec and a filter spec.
• The flowspec defines the desired QoS, and the filter spec
defines the subset of the data stream, i.e, the flow, that is to
receive this QoS.

Types of RSVP.messages
RSVP messages are:
Sent as data grams directly over IP
Periodically resent:
to refresh reservation state
to substitute lost messages
Message types:
PATH
Sender characterizes outgoing traffic in terms of upper and lower
bounds of bandwidth, delay and jitter. The PATH message contains this
traffic specification (TSpec) information to the unicast or multicast
address
Each RSVP enabled router along the downstream route establishes a
“path-state” that includes the previous source address of the PATH
message (i.e., the next hop “upstream” towards the sender
RESV
To make a resource reservation, receiver sends a RESV (reservation
request) message “upstream”. In addition to the TSpec, the RESV
message includes a request specification (RSpe
RSpec + filter spec = flow-descriptor which the routers use to identify
each reservation
Error messages (PathErr, ResvErr)
Teardown messages (PathTear, ResvTear)

Our Test Results
• RSVP daemon failed near 5 reservations
• Incorrectly implemented daemon on non-leaf routers
• Kernel crashes and control data corruption
•
•
•
•
Debugging tools also failed
Solaris implementation worked better
Unable to complete our tests
Conclusion: tools, daemon still immature

Stony Brook Performance Test
• Tzi-cker Chiueh and Anindya Neogi (New
York State Univ at Stony Brook)
• Testbed
• Cisco router using WFQ for real-time connections
• Precept software for flow generation and reservations
• Measured performance using a varying
numbers of real-time sessions
The ReSerVation Protocol
35
Stony Brook Performance Results
• Control traffic overhead was minimal
• Control messages should be sent at high
priority
• Real-time packet classification and
scheduling has significant overhead
•
•
•
•
Packet losses show up at 400 sessions
Too much work for WFQ classifier, scheduler
FIFO scheduler on non-real-time traffic worked
Effective link bandwidth lowered

Other Reservation Technologies
• The telephone network
• Single, basic service (64Kbs)
• Guaranteed, low delay resources
• Circuit based system
• ATM
The ReSerVation Protocol
37
Will RSVP Succeed?
• Telcos and long-haul ISPs want constant
bit-rate allocations
• RSVP will not control backbone allocations
• Need simpler mechanism such as differentiated service
• Microsoft, networking vendors see demand
for QoS over IP
• RSVP is only alternative today
• RSVP might find a home in corporate networks
• Current implementations immature
• Internet 2 testbed will experiment with deployment
