What Does RSVP Stand For?
RSVP stands for Resource Reservation Protocol
RSVP, or Resource Reservation Protocol, is a network control protocol designed to enable internet applications to reserve resources across a network. It facilitates the establishment of a communication path with guaranteed bandwidth and quality of service (QoS) by allowing applications to request specific levels of resource allocation from the underlying network. RSVP operates on a per-flow basis, enabling both unicast and multicast communications, and is typically used in dynamic environments where bandwidth requirements may change.
