This study designs a P4 data plane for Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) to ensure Quality of Service (QoS) in networks. The P4-based RSVP data plane effectively manages network resources for guaranteed end-to-end QoS.
Area of Science:
- Computer Science
- Networking
Background:
- Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) is crucial for Quality of Service (QoS) in networks.
- Traditional RSVP implementations face challenges in modern, dynamic network environments.
Purpose of the Study:
- To design and implement a P4-based data plane for RSVP.
- To ensure RSVP session QoS demands are met in diverse network settings.
- To validate the P4-RSVP data plane's effectiveness in resource reservation.
Main Methods:
- Explored RSVP signaling mechanisms and data plane processing needs.
- Utilized P4 language for developing the RSVP data plane.
- Configured parameters for control plane integration with the data plane.
- Employed Mininet and BMv2 for network simulation and evaluation.
Main Results:
- Successfully developed a P4 data plane for RSVP resource reservation.
- Validated the system's ability to meet end-to-end QoS guarantees.
- Demonstrated accurate management of bandwidth, latency, priority, and packet counts.
Conclusions:
- The P4-based RSVP data plane is a viable solution for modern networks.
- This approach enhances RSVP's capability to deliver guaranteed QoS.
- The proposed system effectively supports diverse traffic scenarios and QoS requirements.
