README for PC-RSVP 1.0 Beta [Build 55 - Expiration 12/31/98]
============================================================

This is the Beta version 1.0 release of Intel PC-RSVP. RSVP is a resource
ReSerVation Protocol which allow host PCs to reserve bandwidth on an
end-to-end basis for their multimedia applications. PC-RSVP enables
hosts to perform the signaling required to establish reservations.
The release is compliant with the RSVP Specification [RFC 2205]

PC-RSVP is a Windows* 95/Windows NT* 4.0(SP3) QoS
service provider which sits in between the WinSock*2 API and a TCP/IP
service provider. Multimedia applications make calls to the WinSock2
QoS / RSVP API to establish end-to-end reservations.

RSVP via GQoS LSP (or Intel GQoS) is a Winsock2 Generic Quality of
Service Layered Service Provider. RSVP via GQoS transforms a base TCP/IP
or UDP/IP provider into a fine-tuned QoS-enabled service provider.
Multimedia applications make calls to the WinSock2 QoS APIs to establish
end-to-end reservations.
