This document describes the use of a single RSVP (Resource ReSerVation
Protocol) reservation to aggregate other RSVP reservations across a
transit routing region, in a manner conceptually similar to the use of
Virtual Paths in an ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) network.  It
proposes a way to dynamically create the aggregate reservation,
classify the traffic for which the aggregate reservation applies,
determine how much bandwidth is needed to achieve the requirement, and
recover the bandwidth when the sub-reservations are no longer
required.  It also contains recommendations concerning algorithms and
policies for predictive reservations.

This document is a product of the Integrated Services over Specific
Link Layers Working Group of the IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.

This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for
the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the
"Internet Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the
