Understanding RSVP Error Message Codes

Table 21 lists and describes the RSVP error message codes from RFC 2205, Resource ReSerVation Protocol (RSVP), Version 1, Functional Specification and RFC 3209, RSVP-TE: Extensions to RSVP for LSP Tunnels. The following error codes appear predominantly in the error object of the ResvErr message. A few of these error codes appear in the PathErr message.


Table 21: RSVP Error Codes
Error Code
Name
Meaning/Value
RSVP Message

00

Confirmation

Value=00

ResvConf

01

Admission Control Failure
Subcode:

  • 1 Delay bound cannot be met
  • 2 Requested bandwidth unavailable
  • 3 MTU in flowspec larger than interface MTU

Reservation request was rejected by admission control due to unavailable resources.

The 16 bits of the Error Value field are: ssur cccc cccc cccc. If ssur=0, the low order bits contain a subcode.

ResvErr

02

Policy Control Failure

Path or Resv message rejected for administrative reason; for example, preemption.

PathErr, ResvErr

03

No Path Information

No Path state exists for this session; Resv message cannot be forwarded.

ResvErr

04

No Sender Information

Path state does not include sender information that matches the flow descriptor; Resv message cannot be forwarded.

ResvErr

05

Conflicting

Reservation style conflicts with existing reservation style; Resv message cannot be forwarded.

ResvErr

06

Unknown Reservation Style

Reservation style unknown; Resv message cannot be forwarded.

ResvErr

07

Conflicting Destination Port

RSVP sessions with identical destination address and protocol values have zero and non-zero destination port values.

PathErr, ResvErr

08

Conflicting Sender Ports

RSVP sessions with identical destination address and protocol values have zero and non-zero sender ports.

PathErr

09 to 11

Reserved



12

Service Preempted
Subcode:

Reserved for future definition

The service request defined by the style object and the flow descriptor has been administratively preempted.

Value=ssur cccc cccc cccc. If ssur=0, low order bits contain subcode.

ResvErr

13    

Unknown Object Class

Contains a 16-bit value composed of Class-Num and C-Type of the unknown object. This error is sent only if RSVP will reject the message, as determined by the high-order bits of the Class-Num.

PathErr, ResvErr

14    

Unknown Object C-Type

Comprised of Class_Num, C-Type of object.

ResvErr

15-19

Reserved



20

Reserved for API

Contains an API error code that was detected asynchronously and must be reported by upcall.

ResvErr

21

Traffic Control Error
Subcode:

  • 01 Service Conflict—Trying to merge two incompatible service requests.
  • 02 Service Unsupported—Traffic control can't provide requested service or acceptable replacement.
  • 03 Bad Flowspec—Malformed or unreasonable request.
  • 04 Bad Tspec— Malformed or unreasonable request.
  • 05 Bad Adspec—Malformed or unreasonable request.

Traffic control failed due to format or parameters. Path or Resv message cannot be forwarded. Value=ss00 cccc cccc cccc; ss bits=00.

ResvErr

22

Traffic Control System Error

System error detected; RSVP is not expected to interpret this value.

ResvErr

23

RSVP System Error

Implementation-dependent value; RSVP is not expected to interpret this value.

ResvErr

24

Routing Problem
Subcode:

  • 01Bad Explicit Route Object
  • 02 Bad Strict node
  • 03 Bad loose node
  • 04 Bad initial sub-object
  • 05 No route available toward destination
  • 06 Unacceptable label value
  • 07 RRO indicated routing loops
  • 08 MPLS being negotiated, but non-RSVP capable router stands in the path
  • 09 MPLS label allocation failure
  • 10 Unsupported L3PID

For information on this error code, see RFC 3209, RSVP-TE: Extensions to RSVP for LSP Tunnels.

PathErr
ResvErr


25

Notify Error
subcode:

  • 01 RRO too large for MTU
  • 02 RRO notification
  • 03 Tunnel locally required

For information on this error code, see RFC 3209, RSVP-TE: Extensions to RSVP for LSP Tunnels.
