Reservation Merging

• For use with multicast, multiple reservations along different paths may be merged

• Generally, the merged FlowSpec is the “largest” of the merging FlowSpecs

• The merge procedure is service specific (e.g. controlled load and guaranteed service have their own)

• See RFCs 2205, 2210-2 for details
