Framework for Scheduled Use of Resources
Abstract
Time-Scheduled (TS) reservation of Traffic Engineering (TE) resources
can be used to provide resource booking for TE Label Switched Paths
so as to better guarantee services for customers and to improve the
efficiency of network resource usage at any moment in time, including
network usage that is planned for the future. This document provides
a framework that describes and discusses the architecture for
supporting scheduled reservation of TE resources. This document does
not describe specific protocols or protocol extensions needed to
realize this service.

RFC 8413 Scheduled Use of Resources July 2018
1. Introduction
Traffic Engineering Label Switched Paths (TE-LSPs) are connection-
oriented tunnels in packet and non-packet networks [RFC3209]
[RFC3945]. TE-LSPs may reserve network resources for use by the
traffic they carry, thus providing some guarantees of service
