Network resource management deals with protocols and networks capable of performing a reservation of the available resources in order to guarantee a certain Quality of Service (QoS). Examples of these technologies are Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) and Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS), which are usually used in core networks.
