In this paper we discuss the need for resource reservation inthe Internet and examine some of the strengths and weaknesses ofRSVP, which is currently the most popular of Internet reservationprotocols that have been developed. We also discuss somealternative reservation protocols for packet networks, inparticular the ATM Block Transfer (ABT) reservation protocol thathas been designed for use in Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM)networks and which uses in-line control packets to modifyreservations on the fly to achieve very efficient bandwidthutilisation. Finally, we present a proposal for a new reservationprotocol, known as DRP (Dynamic Reservation Protocol) whichcombines many of the strengths of RSVP and ABT with few of theweaknesses to achieve a highly bandwidth-efficient reservationmechanism with excellent scalability with regards to round triptime, data rate and number of hosts.
