P802.1Qdd – Resource Allocation Protocol

This amendment specifies protocols, procedures, and managed objects for a Resource Allocation Protocol (RAP) that uses the Link-local Registration Protocol (LRP) and supports and provides backwards compatibility with the stream reservation and quality of service capabilities, controls and protocols specified in IEEE Std 802.1Q. RAP provides support for accurate latency calculation and reporting, can use redundant paths established by other protocols, and is not limited to bridged networks.

A signaling protocol that performs distributed and dynamic resource management and admission control is an essential component for automatic configuration in bridged LANs requiring latency and bandwidth guarantees. Current IEEE 802.1Q Multiple Stream Reservation Protocol (MSRP) is constrained by the capability of its underlying IEEE 802.1Q Multiple Registration Protocol (MRP) and does not efficiently support a large reservation database. For use in distributed stream reservation, IEEE 802.1Q MSRP does not make use of all available Quality of Service provisions and does not support reservation for the streams in need of high availability by use of the technologies specified in IEEE Std 802.1CB. The proposed amendment will address these issues.
