METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR A RESERVATION REFLECTOR FUNCTION IN ROUTERS

摘要

A method and corresponding apparatus establish a reservation in a segment of an end-to-end path between a data sender and a data receiver, up to a point in the end-to-end path; attempt to establish another reservation in an adjacent segment of the end-to-end path, beyond the point in the end-to-end path; and in an event that the other reservation is established in the adjacent segment of the end-to-end path, bind the other reservation to the reservation established in the segment of an end-to-end path up to the point in the end-to-end path.
