ABSTRACT
In 1993, the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) chartered the Resource ReSerVation Protocol (RSVP) working group to specify the signaling protocol to set up resource reservations for the new (real-time) services to be provided in the Internet. The RSVP is a state-establishment protocol. RSVP will enable the Internet to support real-time and multimedia applications, such as teleconferencing and videoconferencing applications. These applications require reservations to be made in the Internet routers, and RSVP is the protocol to set up these reservations.
