Router and communication network system

摘要

In a router and a communication network system reserving network resources in compliance with an RSVP (Resource ReSerVation Protocol), that is a protocol for resource reservation, a router stores an encapsulated destination address associated with an address of a second host upon encapsulating and transferring a packet addressed to the second host, transfers a first path message transmitted from a first host to make a resource reservation in compliance with a resource reservation protocol, obtains thereafter the encapsulated destination address from the address of the second host, and transmits a second path message in a non-capsulated state to make a resource reservation with the same communication quality as that of the first path message to the encapsulated destination address.
