Abstract:

In one embodiment, a reservation control node monitors messages transferred between a client and a server to determine if the client is establishing a session with the server to stream data on a data stream between the server and the client. If the reservation control node detects that such a session is being established, the control node reserves resources for the data stream. The reservation control node continues to monitor messages between the client and the server that relate to the session. If the monitored messages indicate the session is being torn down, the reservation control node automatically tears down the reservation between the client and the server to free the reserved resources for other use.
