                     CSGO Research Seminar
        
CSGO, the Computer Science Graduate Organization, sponsors seminars to bring 
together students and researchers in the areas of Computer Science and 
Engineering, introducing the students to the researchers and providing a 
chance for the researchers to get to know the students.

There will be one seminar every week of approximately one hour duration 
followed by a question and answer session.
                  
Next week the seminar will be:

RSVP: A Resource ReSerVation Protocol

Many new distributed applications, such as multimedia conferencing,
data fusion, visualization, and virtual reality, have the property
that they require certain guarantees about the quality of network
service they receive. In this talk I describe a ReSerVation Protocol,
RSVP, to setup and maintain such reservations.  

Our work is motivated by the need to support real-time, 
multipoint-to-multipoint communications in an efficient
and scalable manner.  Conventional setup protocols (e.g., ST-2, IDPR,
and X.25) do not adequately meet this need.  The design of RSVP is
based on the separation of three distinct functions performed by the
network to support reservations: routing, resource reservation, and
packet forwarding.  This leads to several novel features that are
critical to the flexibility and scalability of our scheme.  RSVP is
receiver-oriented, in that the receiver of the data flow is the
entity responsible for the initiation of the reservation.  In
addition, RSVP allows for heterogeneous receivers in a multicast
group; specifically, receivers may have different levels of
reservation, may reserve for different streams sent to the group, and 
may exhibit "channel changing" behavior, in which a single resource
reservation can be switched between several potential traffic streams.
