RSVP agent configuration
The RSVP agent is required if the host is to support the RSVP protocol.
The /etc/rsvpd.conf configuration file is used to configure the RSVP agent. The syntax of the configuration file is described in the sample configuration file installed in /etc/rsvpd.conf.
The following example illustrates a possible RSVP configuration in which
the host has 4 interfaces (virtual or physical) given by the 4 IP addresses, 1.2.3.1,
1.2.3.2, 1.2.3.3,
and 1.2.3.4
.
interface 1.2.3.1
interface 1.2.3.2 disabled
interface 1.2.3.3 disabled
interface 1.2.3.4
{
trafficControl
}
rsvp 1.2.3.1
{
maxFlows 64
}
rsvp 1.2.3.4
{
maxFlows 100
}
Interface 1.2.3.1
has been enabled for RSVP. However,
traffic control has not been specified and incoming RSVP RESV messages do
not cause resource reservation within the TCP subsystem. This interface can
support a maximum of 64 simultaneous RSVP sessions.
Interfaces 1.2.3.2
and 1.2.3.3
have been
disabled. The RSVP agent cannot use this interface to transmit or receive
RSVP messages.
Interface 1.2.3.4
has been enabled for RSVP. In addition,
it can install resource reservations into the TCP subsystem in response
to an RSVP RESV message. This interface can support up to 100 RSVP sessions.
Any other interfaces present on the host but not mentioned explicitly in /etc/rsvpd.conf are disabled.
