A lightweight mobile RSVP for unicast

  • Published:
Wuhan University Journal of Natural Sciences

Abstract

This paper presents a lighter protocol, and it removes the multicast burdens from RSVP to adapt to unicast applications. At the same time, when RSVP is used in wireless networks, some issues about mobility raise popular concerns. The proposed protocol a lightweight mobile RSVP protocol, solves the problems by the following mechanisms: changeless flow identifier, a new state management and “refresh” mechanism.
