RSVP (Resource Reservation Protocol)

RSVP, or Resource Reservation Protocol, is a network protocol that allows applications to reserve bandwidth across a network for specific data flows. Think of it as making a reservation at a restaurant; RSVP ensures that the necessary resources, like network bandwidth, are allocated for data transmission, ensuring consistent quality for activities like video calls or streaming. By signaling network devices about the need for certain resources, RSVP helps manage traffic efficiently and improves the performance of real-time applications that require stable connections.
