rsvpd - Resource ReSerVations Protocol daemon
rsvpd [ -D ] [ -d debug_bits ] [ -l logging_level ] [ -R router_addr ] [
-t mstat_TTL ] [ -e MIB_entry_purge_minutes ] [ -c config_file ]
Rsvpd is a daemon program that uses the RSVP resource reservation
protocol to set up reservation state in hosts and routers. It supports
an API that allows applications to make reservation requests. It
includes an adaptation module to the admission control and traffic
control mechanisms provided by the output device drivers in the kernel.
rsvpd contains a SNMP agent, called rsvpd-snmpagent. The rsvpd-snmpagent
allows SNMP managers to read all RSVP and Integrated Service MIB
variables, and to write the intSrvIfAttribMaxAllocatedBits variable. See
rsvpd-snmpagent(1m) for more details.
-D Execute rsvpd in debugging mode, i.e., do not detach the process,
and print debugging information to stderr.
-d Set the debugging mask to the integer debug_bits. This mask selects
which additional information, if any, will be logged when the
logging level (see below) is at least LOG_DEBUG. See the section
below on LOGGING CONTROLS.
-l Set the logging level, which controls logging of data for debugging
and diagnosis, to the integer logging_level. See the section below
on LOGGING CONTROLS.
-R Specify rsvp_router as the name or dotted-decimal number of a
first-hop router to be used by rsvpd running on a host. With this
parameter, rsvpd will send a unicast copy of any UDP-encapsulated
RSVP message directly to rsvp_router, in addition to copies it
normally sends. The -R parameters is required only when the
multicast TTL threshold of a tunnel or firewall would otherwise make
the first-hop router inaccessible from the host.
-t Set the IP TTL value for multicasting diagnostic information
(summary of the state) to mcast_TTL. This information is multicast
when the DEBUG_MCAST_STATE bit (see LOGGING CONTROLS) is set in the
debugging bit mask. The default is TTL = 1, i.e., one hop. -e
Controls how long an old MIB entry will be kept before it is
deleted. An old MIB entry is one that is no longer active because
the session, sender, reservation, forwarded reservation, or flow
that it describes is no longer active. The default is 5 minutes.
Delaying the deletion of an inactive MIB entry gives network
managers some time to examine the entry after receiving the lostFlow
notification. -c Specify another location for the configuration

file. The default is /etc/config/rsvpd.conf.
By default, the RSVP daemon looks for a configuration file named
rsvpd.conf in /etc/config. This file may contain configuration commands,
one command per line. Each command consists of a series of keywords
separated by blanks or tabs; some keywords are followed by one or two
parameters. The first keyword in the line is the name of the command;
other keywords may come in any order. A blank line or a comment line
beginning with '#' will be ignored.
There is currently two commands defined:
interface iface_name [police] [udpencap] [udpttl nn]
[refresh rr] [disable] [passbreak] [passnormal]
[integrity] [sendkey id key]
neighbor host [sendkey id key]
Here iface_name is the name of a physical interface (e.g., `le0'), to
which the following keywords apply. Similarly, host is the name or
dotted-decimal address of a neighboring host. More than one command line
may be given for the same interface or host, and corresponding lines have
a cumulative effect.
The following keywords are defined for the interface command:
police
Traffic control policing is to be applied to the specified
interface.
udpencap
Force rsvpd to use UDP encapsulation of RSVP messages on the
specified interface. In most cases rsvpd will automatically
configure itself to do UDP encapsulation on any interfaces on which
it is required. The udp keyword should be required only by a router
connected to a LAN which has no hosts that act as RSVP senders.
udpttl ttl
UDP encapsulation using the specified TTL is to be performed on RSVP
messages sent out the specified interface. This keyword implies the
udp keyword. The default TTL for encapsulation is 1.
The udpttl keyword is required only when the local environment
includes RSVP-capable hosts separated by non-RSVP-capable routers,
or to satisfy TTL threshold requirements. The TTL value must not
exceed the hop distance to the first-hop router; violation of this
restriction will cause gratuitous UDP encapsulation between routers.

disable
Disable RSVP on the specified interface. No RSVP messages are
forwarded on this interface. This option is useful to prevent RSVP
messages from ever reaching certain parts of the network.
passbreak
Forward RSVP PATH messages as normal, but set the RSVP TTL field so
that the next hop router will think this hop does not support RSVP.
Kernel admission and traffic control is bypassed. All reservation
requests are accepted. This option is useful on systems with some
interfaces which do not support RSVP admission and traffic control.
RSVP messages are still forwarded on those interfaces; however,
other nodes will know what those interfaces do not support RSVP
traffic control.
passnormal
Process the RSVP messages normally, but bypass kernel admission and
traffic control. All reservation requests are supported. This
option is useful for high speed interfaces which do not support RSVP
admission and traffic control. However, because of their high
bandwidth, they are unlikely to be a bottleneck for the flow. This
option allows those interfaces to pretend they support RSVP traffic
control, even though they don't. IP over ATM and HIPPI interfaces
are good candidates for this option.
refresh time
Override the default refresh period for the specified interface.
Here time is a new refresh period in seconds. [Not supported yet].
integrity
Integrity checking is required on messages received on the specified
interface.
sendkey id key
Here id is an integer key id and key is a corresponding key for
sending messages to the specified interface. Key must be 16 bytes
written in hexadecimal notation, with no spaces.
recvkey id key
Here id is an integer key id and key is a corresponding key for
receiving messages from the specified neighbor node. Key must be 16
bytes written in hexadecimal notation, with no spaces.
Here is an example configuration file
# rsvpd configuration
interface le0 udpttl 3 integrity refresh 60
interface le0 sendkey 32 c0640a4abda195de6062afe2de5a7e47

LOGGING CONTROLS
The RSVP daemon logs state and event information for management,
diagnosis, and debugging. The logged data is written into an rsvpd log
file (e.g., /var/tmp/.rsvpd.log). It also appears on the console
(stderr) if rsvpd is executed in non-daemon mode (i.e., with the -D
flag). The rsvpd log file can grow to a maximum size of approximately
400KB; it will then be closed and renamed to /var/tmp/.rsvpd.log.prev,
and a new log file will be started.
Logging is controlled by two integer parameters, the `debugging mask' and
the `logging level'. These parameters may be set on the rsvpd command
line or dynamically using the rtap console interface (see rtap(8)).
Each log message has a priority, and it will appear in the log if its
priority is at least equal to the logging level. The priorities (defined
in <sys/syslog.h>) used by rsvpd are as follows:
3 LOG_ERR
These messages indicate system errors, configuration errors,
internal logical errors within rsvpd, or logical errors in the
client end of an API socket. They should never occur in normal
operation.
4 LOG_WARNING
These messages indicate temporary resource shortage or protocol
errors in RSVP messages received from remote hosts.
6 LOG_INFO
These message log changes of management parameters.
7 LOG_DEBUG
These message contain debugging information. This will generally
consist of a one-line summary of the event. Then additional
information may follow, depending upon the setting of the debugging
mask bits DEBUG_IO and DEBUG_EVENTS.
8 LOG_HEXD
Dump all RSVP messages sent and received in hex.
For example, a logging_level of LOG_DEBUG will cause all events that
occur to be logged, while a logging_level of LOG_INFO will log everything
but debug messages.
The debugging mask is considered to be a set of bits; the bits and their
symbolic designations in the code are as follows:
Page 4
RSVPD(1M) RSVPD(1M)
1 DEBUG_IO
If this bit is included, the contents of the each RSVP message will
be formatted to the log following its transmission or receipt.
2 DEBUG_DS_DUMP
If this bit is included, the complete path and reservation state
will be written into the log, periodically and when the state
changes.
4 DEBUG_EVENTS
If this bit is included, additional details on API and kernel
scheduling events will be logged following the corresponding event
lines.
8 DEBUG_ROUTE
If this bit is included, a great deal of information concerning
route lookups will be logged.
16 DEBUG_MCAST_STATE
This bit does not control logging. If it is on, rsvpd will
multicast its internal state periodically. The RSVP tool rsvpeep
will receive and format this information. The multicast TTL may be
set using the -t parameter (see above).
32 DEBUG_TIMERS
If this bit is included, a great deal of information concerning the
timer queue will be logged.
rtap(1m), rstat(1m), rsvpeep(1m), rsvpfilter(1m), psifconfig(1m), rsvpdsnmpagent(1m)
The rsvpd in IRIX6.5 is based on ISI rel4.1a6. It has been compiled
without OBSOLETE_API defined.
The IRIX6.5 kernel supports Controlled Load traffic control, so rsvpd has
been compiled with the SCHEDULE option defined.
