Reservation Styles
LSPs can be signaled with explicit reservation styles. A reservation style is a set of control options 
that specify a number of supported parameters. The style information is part of the LSP 
configuration. SR OS supports two reservation styles: 
Note that if FRR option is enabled for the LSP and selects the facility FRR method at the head-end 
node, only the SE reservation style is allowed. Furthermore, if a 7210 SAS M PLR node receives a 
path message with fast-reroute requested with facility method and the FF reservation style, it will 
reject the reservation. The one-to-one detour method supports both FF and SE styles.
RSVP Message Pacing
When a flood of signaling messages arrive because of topology changes in the network, signaling 
messages can be dropped which results in longer set up times for LSPs. RSVP message pacing 
controls the transmission rate for RSVP messages, allowing the messages to be sent in timed 
intervals. Pacing reduces the number of dropped messages that can occur from bursts of signaling 
messages in large networks.
