What is RSVP-TE?

RSVP-TE (Resource Reservation Protocol - Traffic Engineering) is a signaling protocol used in MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) networks to establish label-switched paths (LSPs) for traffic engineering purposes. It allows network operators to reserve bandwidth and other resources along a specific path through the network, ensuring a certain quality of service (QoS) for critical traffic. It is commonly used to create explicit routes that bypass congested links or to prioritize certain types of traffic over others.

What other technologies are related to RSVP-TE?

RSVP-TE Competitor Technologies

LDP is another label distribution protocol used in MPLS networks, serving a similar purpose to RSVP-TE but with a different approach. Both are used to establish LSP paths.

RSVP-TE Complementary Technologies

IS-IS (Intermediate System to Intermediate System) is a routing protocol often used as the underlay for MPLS networks, providing the necessary routing information for RSVP-TE to function. RSVP-TE leverages the IGP for path computation, so is complementary.
