Information About RSVP-VRF Lite Admission Control
Overview of RSVP-VRF Lite Admission Control
An RSVP flow is identified by its tuple, which includes its destination IP address, its destination port, and its protocol. This tuple should be unique on all the nodes along the path from the sender to the receiver. In the context of the global routing domain, each flow can be uniquely identified through its tuple.
However, with the implementation of virtual routing and forwarding (VRF), a separate instance of the routing and forwarding table for each VRF routing domain can exist. Each of the VRF instances has its own address pool range, which could overlap between VRF routing domains. This poses a problem to the existing implementation of RSVP, where sessions are identified by the tuple. Sessions with the same tuple can exist in the context of different VRF domains. To solve the problem, the tuple has to be extended to take into account the VRF instance. The new tuple has a VRF ID, a destination IP address , a destination port, and a protocol . The VRF ID is derived based on the interface on which an RSVP packet has been received and is not signaled using RSVP. Therefore, each node needs to infer the VRF ID based on the RSVP control packet's incoming interface.
The figure below shows a VRF-lite deployment scenario.
| Figure 1 | RSVP VRF Deployment in VRF-Lite Network |
The figure above shows VRF lite configured on Router 1 customer edge (CE) and Router 2 CE, and MPLS-VPN configured between the provider edge (PE) devices. In such a deployment scenario, the RSVP implementation needs to be VRF aware in the CE devices; that is, the flows must be recognized in the context of the VRF domain in which the sender and receiver of the flow reside. However, RSVP QoS is not enabled on the PE devices.
On the CE devices, with VRF lite functionality, VRF is identified based on the VRF configured on the incoming interface; that is, on the interface facing the customer site and the interface facing the PE.
Benefits of RSVP-VRF Lite Admission Control
The RSVP--VRF Lite Admission Control feature provides the benefits of RSVP in a VRF-lite environment to include the following:
- Guaranteed QoS through explicit admission control
- Virtualization
- Security
- Separation of routing contexts
- Overlapping of IP addresses

Glossary
admission control --The process by which an RSVP reservation is accepted or rejected on the basis of end-to-end available network resources.
QoS --quality of service. A measure of performance for a transmission system that reflects its transmission quality and service availability. Quality of service focuses on achieving appropriate network performance for networked applications; it is superior to best effort performance.
RSVP --Resource Reservation Protocol. A protocol that supports the reservation of resources across an IP network. Applications that run on IP end systems can use RSVP to indicate to other nodes the nature (bandwidth, jitter, maximum burst, and so on) of the packet streams that they want to receive.
VRF --virtual routing and forwarding. An extension of IP routing that provides multiple routing instances. A VRF consists of an IP routing table, a derived forwarding table, a set of interfaces that use the forwarding table, and a set of rules and routing protocols that determine what goes into the forwarding table. In general, a VRF includes the routing information that defines a customer VPN site that is attached to a provider edge (PE) device.
