Abstract
This memo describes a mechanism for establishing a switched path with guaranteed Quality of Service for RSVP [1] flows in a MultiProtocol Label Switching (MPLS) environment. It proposes an extension to the RSVP protocol that allows the establishment of a sequence of label switched hops along the hop-by-hop routed path by enabling adjacent nodes to exchange MPLS labels [11]. The labels may correspond to information that identifies a layer 2 virtual connection; for example, the VPI/VCI value in the case of an ATM-based infrastructure.
