aggregate

Syntax

(aggregate | no-aggregate);

Hierarchy Level

[edit protocols rsvp interface interface-name ]

Description

Control the use of RSVP aggregate messages on an interface:

• aggregate—Use RSVP aggregate messages.
• no-aggregate—Do not use RSVP aggregate messages.

Aggregate messages can pack multiple RSVP messages into a single transmission, thereby reducing network overhead and enhancing efficiency. The number of supportable sessions and processing overhead are significantly improved when aggregation is enabled.

Not all routers connected to a subnet need to support aggregation simultaneously. Each RSVP router negotiates its intention to use aggregate messages on a per-neighbor basis. Only when both routers agree are aggregate messages sent.

Default

Aggregation is disabled.
