The provision of an efficient on-demand service will require Internet 'sessions' to use virtual-message-paths that must be opened and closed in a manner similar to the establishment of calls in a telephone network; enabling the network to refuse traffic which exceeds the available capacity and ensuring that established sessions will not be violated. It is felt that the RSVP mechanism will not fully meet these requirements for the commercial services described below, and this paper describes an alternative.}, }
