===Flowspec=== RSVP reserves resources for a flow. A flow is identified by the destination address, the protocol identifier, and, optionally, the destination port. In [[Multiprotocol Label Switching]] (MPLS) a flow is defined as a [[label-switched path]] (LSP). For each flow, RSVP also identifies the particular [[quality of service]] (QoS) required by the flow. This QoS information is called a ''flowspec'' and RSVP passes the ''flowspec'' from the application to the hosts and routers along the path. Those systems then analyse the ''flowspec'' to accept and reserve the resources. A ''flowspec'' consists of: #Service class #Reservation spec - defines the QoS #Traffic spec - describes the data flow
