Techniques to Improve the Scalability of RSVP-TE Deployments
RFC 8370, “Techniques to Improve the Scalability of RSVP-TE Deployments”, is a Proposed Standard document published in May 2018 by V. Beeram, I. Minei, R. Shakir, D. Pacella, T. Saad. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
Networks that utilize RSVP-TE LSPs are encountering implementations that have a limited ability to support the growth in the number of LSPs deployed.
This document defines two techniques, Refresh-Interval Independent RSVP (RI-RSVP) and Per-Peer Flow Control, that reduce the number of processing cycles required to maintain RSVP-TE LSP state in Label Switching Routers (LSRs) and hence allow implementations to support larger scale deployments.
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
