Abstract
This memo presents specific implementation requirements for running
RSVP over ATM switched virtual circuits (SVCs). It presents
requirements that ensure interoperability between multiple
implementations and conformance to the RSVP and Integrated Services
specifications. A separate document [5] provides specific guidelines
for running over today's ATM networks. The general problem is
discussed in [9]. Integrated Services to ATM service mappings are
covered in [6]. The full set of documents present the background and
information needed to implement Integrated Services and RSVP over
ATM.
