The proposed reservation approach is based on a new, lightweight signaling protocol and it suits both Diff-Serv, Int-Serv QoS architectures. The main designing principle of the Boomerang protocol is to make reservation almost as simple as forwarding an ordinary packet. Thus: * Signaling messages are generated only by the initiating node, therefore complexity and intelligence is concentrated in one point enabling simple implementation * Flow state aggregation can be suggested to subsequent nodes by appending the Boomerang message}, }
