However, in reality multicast is being used much less frequently than anticipated. Still, even for unicast (one sender, one receiver) full-fledged multicast-enabled RSVP signaling must be used. As pointed out in the NSIS requirement draft, multicast would not be necessarily required for an NSIS signaling protocol. This draft analyses ingredients of RSVP Version 1 which are affected by multicast, and derives how these ingredients may look like if multicast is not supported in the generic RSVP signaling protocol and adapt related functionalities accordingly - we call the resulting feature set 'RSVP Lite', a potentially more light-weight version of RSVP.}, }
