Abstract:
1. Logic encoded in a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing one or more sequences of instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform: receiving a group key from a dynamic group key management process that provides the group key to members of a set of resource reservation protocol (RSVP)-capable devices, wherein receiving a group key from a dynamic group key management logic establishes membership with the set of RSVP-capable devices; and selectively controlling processing of an RSVP-capable device based, at least in part, on the group key; determining, based at least in part on the group key, and without issuing or exchanging a challenge packet and a response packet, whether a received RSVP message was provided by a member of the set of RSVP-capable devices or by a non-RSVP-capable device.
