==INTEGRATION OF RESERVATION AND NON-RESERVATION ROUTING PROTOCOLS WITHIN THE SAME NETWORK - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18357029 titled 'INTEGRATION OF RESERVATION AND NON-RESERVATION ROUTING PROTOCOLS WITHIN THE SAME NETWORK

The abstract describes techniques for enabling a resource reservation routing protocol, such as RSVP-TE, to perform routing operations based on bandwidth reservations by a non-reservation protocol, such as SR.

* Bandwidth reservation measures associated with a non-reservation protocol, like an SR LSP, can be used to create LSPs associated with a resource reservation protocol, such as RSVP-TE LSPs.

* These techniques allow a network to utilize both a resource reservation protocol and a non-reservation protocol simultaneously.

* By leveraging bandwidth reservation measures, LSPs can be established and managed effectively across different protocols.

* This innovation enhances the flexibility and efficiency of routing operations in complex network environments.

* The integration of bandwidth reservations from non-reservation protocols into resource reservation protocols optimizes network resource utilization.

Commercial Applications:
Title: Enhanced Routing Protocol Integration for Network Optimization
This technology can be applied in various commercial settings such as telecommunications companies, cloud service providers, and large enterprises to optimize network performance and resource utilization.

Questions about Enhanced Routing Protocol Integration for Network Optimization:

1. How does this technology improve network efficiency across different protocols?
   This technology enables the seamless integration of bandwidth reservations from non-reservation protocols into resource reservation protocols, enhancing routing efficiency and resource utilization.

2. What are the potential benefits of using both resource reservation and non-reservation protocols in a network environment?
   By leveraging both types of protocols, networks can achieve improved scalability, quality of service, and overall performance.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

Techniques for enabling a resource reservation routing protocol (e.g., the Resource Reservation Protocol-Traffic Engineering (RSVP-TE) protocol) to perform routing operations based at least in part on bandwidth reservations by a non-reservation protocol (e.g., the Segment Routing (SR) protocol) are described herein. In some cases, the techniques described herein enable an example network to use both a resource reservation protocol and a non-reservation protocol. In some cases, one or more bandwidth reservation measures associated with a label-switched path (LSP) associated with a non-reservation protocol (e.g., an SR LSP) are used to create LSPs associated with a resource reservation protocol (e.g., RSVP-TE LSPs).
