A resource reservation method adjusting the delay budgets of a traffic flow allocated to the RSVP-capable routers

Providing Quality-of-Service(QoS) guarantee requires the reservation of resource needed to accommodate the traffic flow of service for which resource reservation protocol(RSVP) was introduced. However, if any RSVP-capable router on the path fails to accommodate the traffic flow due to lack of resource, the flow is not allowed no matter how much surplus resources other routers on the path have. In order to solve this problem, this paper proposes a resource reservation method that can adjust adaptively the delay budget of traffic flow allocated to each RSVP-capable router in which the router uses the recently developed general-time fair queuing scheduler. The results of the simulation applying the proposed method to an evaluation network show that it may yield the gain of up to 90% compared to that in the original one in terms of the number of admitted flows.
