Abstract
This paper evaluates the scalability of control-plane signaling in Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP). RSVP has been developed to support resource reservation upon request by generating explicit control messages for real-time sessions demanding QoS. It maintains its soft state for these sessions by periodically refreshing the already established session states. SDL(Specification and Description Language) was used for modeling purposes. Load generators generating both real-time as well as non- real time traffic sessions were used during the evaluation. A number of sessions were set-up, and performance evaluation carried out by increasing the number of sessions. The load on the control-plane was observed by varying the number and type of sessions. The paper attempts to analyse IP-signaling protocols meant for reservations. We believe that such an evaluation provides a reasonable picture on the control-plane overhead related to signaling-protocols like RSVP. The paper also demonstrates the use of load generators to model a real network (traffic) scenario necessary for such an evaluation.
