RSVMRD: BANDWIDTH RESERVATION WITH MULTIPLE-ROUTE DETECTION

摘要

For supporting multimedia data transmission with QoS requirement through a computer network, bandwidth reservation is invoked before starting transmission. Here, bandwidth in every communication link on a transmission route from a source computer to a destination one is reserved. Many protocols only reserve bandwidth on an already detected route. Some other protocols combine routing and bandwidth reservation for achieving higher probability of successful reservation. However, it is difficult to complete bandwidth reservation in an environment with high traffic in the network. This paper proposes a novel bandwidth reservation protocol with which multiple transmission routes are used to achieve required bandwidth. Our protocol RSVMRD only searches suitable routes in a bounded part of a network which is achieved by applying an ad-hoc routing protocol MRAODV.
