RSVP-TE (RSVP for Traffic Engineering)

RSVP-TE (Resource Reservation Protocol for Traffic Engineering) is a network protocol used to efficiently manage data traffic in large networks. It allows network administrators to reserve bandwidth for specific types of data, ensuring that high-priority traffic, like video calls or critical applications, receives the necessary resources for optimal performance. By establishing paths through the network that meet certain criteria, RSVP-TE helps prevent congestion and improves the overall quality of service, making networks more reliable and responsive to varied demands.
