Resource ReSerVation Protocol (RSVP) - Version 1 Message Processing Rules

Status of this Memo This memo provides information for the Internet community. It does not specify an Internet standard of any kind. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. Abstract This memo contains an algorithmic description of the rules used by an RSVP implementation for processing messages. It is intended to clarify the version 1 RSVP protocol specification. This memo provides a generic description of the rules for the operation of Version 1 of RSVP [RFC 2205]. It is intended to outline a set of algorithms that will accomplish the needed function, omitting many details. 1. GENERIC DATA STRUCTURES This memo assumes the generic interface calls defined in [RFC 2005] and the following data structures. An actual implementation may use additional or different data structures and interfaces. The data structure fields that are shown are required unless they are explicitly labelled as optional. o PSB-Path State Block Each PSB holds path state for a particular (session, sender) pair, defined by SESSION and SENDER_TEMPLATE objects, respectively, received in a PATH message.
