Receiver Specification (RSPEC)
RSPEC includes rate R and slack term S
- slack term is the difference (in microseconds) between the desired delay and the delay obtained using a reservation at rate R; can be used to reduce reservations
- req’d: R >= r [sender avg rate], S >= 0
- so, the maximum needed service rate (for a single receiver) at any particular node is min(p,R)
- for R>p, less build-up in network (less delay)
