Re: Help understanding RSVP - a few questions

Thanks for this.

I could not find reference to the asymmetric routing question ... if I
understand RSVP signaling correctly, then this will cause problems ...

Also, I am not understanding when entering a mcast message is required. It
sounds like you will do this when you have a mcast only receiver. Is this
correct?

Many thanks
