Help understanding RSVP - a few questions

Hey Team,

I have configured this on all interfaces from end to end ...

ip rsvp band x y

Ok ... now what ... this is all that is needed? I know you can configure
the routers to send and receive test, and I have not done this yet in my
lab. From the config guides, it looks like it would take a copy and paste
to make this work ... not very complicated.

When I want my network to inter-operate w/ a mcast application, I also have
to generate mcast RSVP packets correct? Using the command: ip rsvp
udp-multicast ?

Misc Question: It appears that RSVP cannot support asymmetric routing? From
what I gather, the packets have to make it to the destination and back using
the same path. It also seems that RSVP can react and choose a new path as
the routing table changes ... this is nice.

All in all, I do not see this being used much ... but perhaps I just have
not needed it yet. Anyone using this and any testimonies?

Appreciate your thoughts, have a great night.
