[j-nsp] RSVP LSP Bandwidth

[Andrew Jimmy]

What does meant by reserved and highwater bandwidth reservation exactly. Is
this something similar to police rate-limit or traffic shaping? Why do you
need to reserve bandwidth and in what circumstances ; what are the impacts?

 

I will appreciate if someone can explain all of this in very simple words.
