Abstract

Resource management offers Quality-of-Service reliability fortime-critical continuous-media applications. Currently, existing resourcemanagement systems in the Internet and ATM domain only provide means toreserve resources starting with the reservation attempt and lasting for anunspecified duration. However, for several applications such as videoconferencing, the ability to reserve the required resources in advance is ofgreat advantage. This paper outlines a new model for resource reservation inadvance. We identify and discuss issues to be resolved for allowing resourcereservation in advance. We show how the resource reservation in advancescheme can be embedded in a general architecture and describe the design andimplementation of a resource management system providing reservation inadvance functionality.
