RSVP Messages in Juniper JunOS

Juniper, Junos, MPLS, Networking, RSVP, , , , , , ,

RSVP (Resource Reservation Protocol) is a transport layer protocol designed to reserve resources across a network for an integrated services Internet. RSVP is not a routing protocol and was designed to interoperate with current and future routing protocols.

RSVP by itself is rarely deployed in telecom networks today but the traffic engineering extension of RSVP, or RSVP-TE, is becoming more widely accepted nowadays in many QoS-oriented networks

In this blog we will see the RSVP messages which flows while setting up the E2E LSP between 2 PEs.

Following model will be used to understand the behaviour.

RSVP Messages Topology

LSP we will configure is TEST-MX960-MX104 between MX960 (Hostname : Bentley) and MX104 (Hostname Pagani) via M320 and M120.

Let’s configure the LSP as below from MX960 to MX104 (loopback IP: 10.198.123.100) with strict path through M320 and M120.

re1.bentley> show configuration protocols mpls label-switched-path TEST-MX960-MX104
to 10.198.123.100;
bandwidth 100m;
optimize-timer 900;
preference 200;
priority 5 0;
primary Bentley-Pagani;

re1.bentley> show configuration protocols mpls path Bentley-Pagani
10.0.0.93 strict;
10.0.0.41 strict;
10.0.0.170 strict;

Before we see the RSVP session details, lets see the message interactions happening at each device from Ingress to Egress. We enabled the RSVP traceoptions in order to capture the packets.

As soon as LSP is configured, RSVP new session is built with tunnel ID (44394 in our case) which is unique for this LSP and will be present in all messages.

Path Messages:

Path message will be sent by Ingress PE MX960 towards MX104 hop by hop using the strict path we configured or will be based on IGP path in case no path has been defined.

MX960 will send the RSVP Send path message which will be received by Transit routers which in turn will send their own Path messages.

RESV Messages

Once MX104 has received Path message, it will generate the RESV message containing the MPLS Label value towards its next-hop.
