Junos OS RSVP Protocol Implementation
The Junos implementation of RSVP supports RSVP version 1. The software includes support for all mandatory objects and RSVP message types, and supports message integrity and node authentications through the Integrity object.
The primary purpose of the Junos RSVP software is to support dynamic signaling within MPLS label-switched paths (LSPs). Supporting resource reservations over the Internet is only a secondary purpose of the Junos OS implementation. Since supporting resource reservations is secondary, the Junos RSVP software does not support the following features:
- IP multicasting sessions.
- Traffic control. The software cannot make resource reservations for real-time video or audio sessions.
With regard to the protocol mechanism, packet processing, and RSVP objects supported, the Junos OS implementation of the software is interoperable with other RSVP implementations.
