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.
