Abstract

The main elements of a communications system that is able to provide QoS over the Internet are a scheduling policy and a signaling protocol. This paper is concerned with the design of the reservation protocol. The most widely used reservation protocol is RSVP which we take as a basis of this work. RSVP has been criticized mainly because of its complexity and poor scalability. This paper presents the first steps towards the definition of a new version of RSVP, which we call RSVPv2. The goal of RSVPv2 is to provide a more "light" approach, that can help improve handling reservations in the network by means of a simplified behaviour.
