Abstract
RFC 3175 specifies aggregation of Resource ReSerVation Protocol
(RSVP) end-to-end reservations over aggregate RSVP reservations.
This document specifies aggregation of RSVP end-to-end reservations
over MPLS Traffic Engineering (TE) tunnels or MPLS Diffserv-aware
MPLS Traffic Engineering (DS-TE) tunnels. This approach is based on
RFC 3175 and simply modifies the corresponding procedures for
operations over MPLS TE tunnels instead of aggregate RSVP
reservations. This approach can be used to achieve admission control
of a very large number of flows in a scalable manner since the
devices in the core of the network are unaware of the end-to-end RSVP
reservations and are only aware of the MPLS TE tunnels.

1. Introduction
The Integrated Services (Intserv) [INT-SERV] architecture provides a
means for the delivery of end-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) to
applications over heterogeneous networks.
[RSVP] defines the Resource reSerVation Protocol that can be used by
applications to request resources from the network. The network
responds by explicitly admitting or rejecting these RSVP requests.
Certain applications that have quantifiable resource requirements
express these requirements using Intserv parameters as defined in the
appropriate Intserv service specifications ([GUARANTEED],
[CONTROLLED]).
The Differentiated Services (DiffServ) architecture ([DIFFSERV]) was
then developed to support the differentiated treatment of packets in
very large scale environments. In contrast to the per-flow
orientation of Intserv and RSVP, Diffserv networks classify packets
into one of a small number of aggregated flows or "classes", based on
