Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) is a signaling protocol that reserves network resources and establishes explicit data paths to ensure bandwidth and Quality of Service (QoS) for critical applications. RSVP-TE manages these reservations and tunnels. Crosswork Network Controller supports RSVP-TE by visualizing tunnels, enabling creation of explicit or dynamic paths optimized for metrics like IGP, TE, or delay, and allowing tunnel modification.

Describes the Resource Reservation Protocol-Traffic Engineering (RSVP-TE) signaling protocol that Crosswork Network Controller uses to reserve network resources, establish explicit paths, and allocate bandwidth for critical applications.
RSVP-TE tunnels on the topology map
Describes the Traffic Engineering topology map that visualizes RSVP-TE tunnels, including how it distinguishes path types, marks adjacency segment IDs, and summarizes tunnel status through a mini dashboard.
