NAME

       rsvpd - Resource ReSerVation Protocol (RSVP) daemon

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/rsvpd [-h] [-d level] [-p] [-l logfile] [-i [version]]

OPTIONS

       Prints  the  rsvpd help and exits.  Enables debug mode.	The debug level is either all (the default) or a bitmask that specifies a combina-
       tion of the following values: 0x01 (SYSTEM) 0x02 (TMR) 0x04 (API) 0x08 (MSGS) 0x10 (TCNTL) 0x20 (SESS) 0x40 (ROUTE) Forces  rsvpd  to  stay
       attached  to  the terminal and print error and debug information to stderr instead of the log file.  Specifies an alternative log file.	By
       default, the log file is /var/rsvp/rsvpd_dbg.log.  Specifies a list of Internet Protocol (IP) version numbers.  Possible values are  4,	6,
       or 46.

DESCRIPTION

       The rsvpd daemon is the RSVP daemon that starts automatically at boot time.  Upon startup, rsvpd performs the following actions: Writes its
       PID to the /var/run/rsvpd.pid file.  Detects all existing interfaces on the system.  Detaches from the terminal unless  the  -p	option	is
       specified.  Creates the /var/rsvp directory, if it does not exist.

       The  rsvpd  daemon  logs startup, stop, and error messages through the syslog function to the /usr/var/adm/syslog.dated/date/daemon.log log
       file.  If you specify the -d option, rsvpd logs error messages and debugging output to the /var/rsvp/rsvpd_dbg.log log file  or	to  a  log
       file specified with the -l logfile option.

       If you want rsvpd to start automatically at system boot time, place an entry for it in the /etc/inet.local file.  For example:

       echo "Starting local Internet services."  # do not let RSVP reserve more than 20 Mbit/s on the FDDI interface /usr/sbin/iftcntl fta0 config
       max_total_r 20000000 # start the RSVP daemon /usr/sbin/rsvpd

       If you make any changes to the network interface configuration, restart the rsvpd daemon.

       If you want to use mrouted and rsvpd on a system, start mrouted before rsvpd.

       If mrouted is running on your system, rsvpd acts as an RSVP multicast router. If IPv4/IPv6 forwarding is enabled on the system, rsvpd  acts
       as an RSVP IPv4/IPv6 unicast router.

   Restricting RSVP Usage
       To  restrict RSVP usage to a limited number of users on the system, set the permissions for the /var/rsvp directory as follows: # chmod 750
       /var/rsvp # chgrp staff /var/rsvp

       Those users who cannot access the /var/rsvp directory will be unable to request RSVP reservations, use any RSVP API (RAPI) function, or use
       the rsvpstat command.

RESTRICTIONS

       You must be superuser to invoke the rsvpd daemon.

FILES

       The rsvpd log file when debugging is enabled.  This directory contains the RSVP API library UNIX domain socket.	The file that contains the
       process ID of the rsvpd daemon that is currently running.
