Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) Engineering Internet QoS
Overview • What is RSVP? • RSVP Messages • RSVP Objects • RSVP Reservation Styles • Problems with RSVP and Integrated Services Engineering Internet QoS
RSVP • Resource ReSerVation Protocol- Proposed Internet standard [RFC2205] • Internet signaling protocol • Carries resource reservation requests through the network including traffic specs, QoS specs, network resource availability • Supports point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, and multipoint-to-multipoint • Simplex streams between sources and receiversData flows from sources (upstream) to receivers (downstream) Engineering Internet QoS
Receiver Oriented Approach • Designed to support multicast • Applications such as vic, vat have more receivers than senders • NASA shuttle launch viewed worldwide over Mbone • Unicast handled as degenerate case of multicast • Heterogenous receivers systems and subnets • diverse receiver requirements • one interested in a particular sender • other interested in all senders Engineering Internet QoS
RSVP Features • Consistent with robustness of today's connectionless model • not a new routing protocol • uses underlying unicast or multicast routing protocols • Uses soft state (refresh periodically) • New sender can start sending to a multicast group • may need larger reservation • New receiver joining multicast group may request for different QoS • Receiver may modify its requested QoS any time Engineering Internet QoS

RSVP Messages • RSVP message sent directly on top of IP • has its own Protocol ID = 46 • End systems not accommodating raw IP may use UDP • Two main messages: PATH and RESV • Source transmits PATH messages sent every 30 seconds • RSVP messages travel hop-by-hop • next hop is determined by routing table • Route is pinned by routers • remembers where message came from • later RESV can be sent along following same path • Destination responds with RESV message Engineering Internet QoS
Path Message • Sources send quasi-periodic PATH messages to multicast or unicast address • Path message contain “Flow spec”: • Sender Template: Data format, Src Address, Src Port • TSpec: Traffic Characteristics. Not changed. • No resource committed by NE until Requested by receivers. Reprinted with Permission from “Engineering Internet QoS - Jha & Hassan, Artech House Publishing, Norwood, MA, USA. www.artechhouse.com Engineering Internet QoS
RESV Message • Receivers must join multicast address to receive path messages • Receivers generate reservation (RESV) requests • RESV messages contain resources to be reserved • RESV messages are forwarded along the reverse path of PATH messages Reprinted with Permission from “Engineering Internet QoS - Jha & Hassan, Artech House Publishing, Norwood, MA, USA. www.artechhouse.com Engineering Internet QoS
RESV Message (Cont) • RESV messages contain Flow Spec + Filter Spec • Filter Spec: Defines the packets in the flowUsed in packet classifier • Flow Spec: Used in packet scheduler • Contents depends upon the service • Will generally include TSpec and RSpec. Engineering Internet QoS
Message Processing • Requests are checked for resource availability (admission control) and administrative permissions (policy control) • accept, modify parameters or refuse (resource/admin/policy constraints) • Routers maintain a soft state. • The receivers have to refresh periodically (30 sec). • Two or more RESV messages for the same source over the same link are merged.

Reservation Styles • Wildcard filter (WF): senders not identified and they share reservation • receive from all senders but bandwidth to be shared • Fixed filter (FF): senders explicitly identified with reservation for each sender • distinct reservation for each sender • Shared-explicit (SE): senders explicitly identified but shared reservation • receive from specified senders but bandwidth shared • Different reservation styles do not merge Engineering Internet QoS

AdSpec Class • Contained in PATH message • manipulated hop-by-hop in data path • Forwarding devices use it to specify kind of service offered, service specific attributes, amount of QoS resources available • Information is used by receiver to determine available service types, minimum capacity along the path… • Informational only since resources may change dynamically Engineering Internet QoS
AdSpec Functional Blocks • Contains several functional blocks • General Characterization block • Controlled Load Service block • Guaranteed Service block • General characterization block • NUMBER_IS_HOPS, AVAILABLE_PATH_BANDWIDTH,MINIMUM_PATH_LATENCY, PATH_MTU • Controlled load service block • no values besides a header • typically used to advertise availability of service Engineering Internet QoS
GS Functional Block • Guaranteed Service block • delay bound information about data path • if not supported, mark the header • contains total independent delay term (D) and rate dependent delay term (C) • C - represents delay as a function of transmission rate • D - represents queuing delay • Each device adds its local delay characteristics to Ctot and Dtot. • Another term Csum and Dsum is used to describe worst case delay terms Engineering Internet QoS

RSVP APIs • Several OS support RSVP stack • RAPI (RSVP API), IETF draft • various flavours of Unix supported (Linux, FreeBSD..) • SCRAPI, IETF draft • Simplified version of RAPI (easy for programmers) • various flavours of Unix supported (Linux, FreeBSD..) • GQoS (Microsoft’s API for QoS) • takes advantage of WinSock 2 APIs Engineering Internet QoS
Problems with RSVP and Integrated Services • Complexity in routers: packet classification, scheduling • Scalable in number of receivers per flow butPer-Flow State: O(n) Þ Not scalable with # of flows.Number of flows in the backbone may be large.Þ Suitable for small private networks • Need a concept of “Virtual Paths” or aggregated flow groups for the backbone • Need policy controls: Who can make reservations?Support for accounting and security.Þ RSVP admission policy (rap) working group. Engineering Internet QoS
Problems (Cont) • Receiver Based: Need sender control/notifications in some cases.Which receiver pays for shared part of the tree? • Soft State: Need route/path pinning (stability). • Throughput and delay guarantees require support of lower layers. Shared Ethernet Þ IP can’t do GS or CLS. Need switched full-duplex LANs. • Most of these arguments also apply to integrated services. Engineering Internet QoS
