In this paper we discuss the need for resource reservation in the Internet and examine some of the strengths and weaknesses of RSVP, which is currently the most popular of Internet reservation protocols that have been developed. The deficiencies of RSVP motivate our design of a new resource reservation protocol which uses dynamic sender-initiated reservations to achieve a highly bandwidthefficient reservation mechanism with excellent scalability with regards to round trip time, data rate and number of hosts.
