Internet Draft RSVP over ATM Requirements

Status of Memo This document is an Internet-Draft. Internet-Drafts are working documents of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), its areas, and its working groups. Note that other groups may also distribute working documents as Internet-Drafts. Internet-Drafts are draft documents valid for a maximum of six months and may be updated, replaced, or obsoleted by other documents at any time. It is inappropriate to use Internet-Drafts as reference material or to cite them other than as "work in progress."

Abstract This note presents specific implementation requirements for running RSVP over ATM switched virtual circuits (SVCs). It presents requirements that ensure interoperability between multiple implementations and conformance to the RSVP and Integrated Services specifications. A separate document [6] provides specific guidelines for running over today's ATM networks. The general problem is discussed in [11]. Integrated Services to ATM service mappings are covered in [9]. The full set of documents present the background and information needed to implement Integrated Services and RSVP over ATM.
