what is rsvp?

Question

the letters found on some invitations 'RSVP'

Answer 1

"Répondez s'il vous plaît", a French phrase that translates to "Respond, if you please"

Answer 2

RSVP is 'respondez s'il vous plait.'
It is pronounced as "respondey sil vou play"
It is a French phrase, which means "respond please."

rsvp is written on invitation cards with a phone number and an address.
It means that the person who is invited should respond or reply to the host if he will attend the function or not.
The host has to make arrangements for accomodation and food for the guests, so he should know how many people are attending the function.This is done for the smooth stay of the guests.

In India 'rsvp' is taken very lightly, but in foreign countries it is absolutely necessary to reply to the host , as functions need careful planning and this is done months before the actual function.
eg.For a wedding in the US. guests may have to come from India or UK or other countries, their Flt. details, the number of children accompanying them, the duration of their stay, the food they like, the date of their departure, everything has to be given to the host in advance. For this purpose, a small rsvp card is sent along with the invite and a stamped envelope also. for the convenience of the guest to reply.

I hope this answers your question.

The term R.S.V.P. comes from the French expression "répondez s'il vous plaît", meaning "please respond".

If R.S.V.P. is written on an invitation it means the invited guest must tell the host whether or not they plan to attend the party. It does not mean to respond only if you're coming, and it does not mean respond only if you're not coming (the expression "regrets only" is reserved for that instance). It means the host needs a definite head count for the planned event, and needs it by the date specified on the invitation.

Answer 5

RSVP (Resource ReSerVation Protocol) is a protocol used in VoIP to manage QoS (Quality of Service).

RSVP works by requesting that required bandwidth and latency be "reserved" for the VoIP telephone call by every network device between the two endpoints.

RSVP is defined in RFC 2205: Resource ReSerVation Protocol (RSVP).

RSVP is a unicast and multicast signaling protocol, designed to install and maintain reservation state information at each router along the path of a stream of data.

The RSVP protocol is used by a host to request specific qualities of service from the network for particular application data streams or flows. RSVP is also used by routers to deliver quality-of-service (QoS) requests to all nodes along the path(s) of the flows and to establish and maintain state to provide the requested service. RSVP requests will generally result in resources being reserved in each node along the data path.

The Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) is a network-control protocol that enables Internet applications to obtain special qualities of service (QoSs) for their data flows. RSVP is not a routing protocol; instead, it works in conjunction with routing protocols and installs the equivalent of dynamic access lists along the routes that routing protocols calculate. RSVP occupies the place of a transport protocol in the OSI model seven-layer protocol stack. RSVP originally was conceived by researchers at the University of Southern California (USC) Information Sciences Institute (ISI) and Xerox Palo Alto Research Center. The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) is now working toward standardization through an RSVP working group. RSVP operational topics discussed in this chapter include data flows, quality of service, session startup, reservation style, and soft state implementation.

RSVP




- RSVP (Resource Reservation Protocol) is a set of communication rules that allows channels or paths on the Internet to be reserved for the multicast (one source to many receivers) transmission of video and other high-bandwidth messages. RSVP is part of the Internet Integrated Service (IIS) model, which ensures best-effort service, real-time service, and controlled link-sharing.
The basic routing philosophy on the Internet is "best effort," which serves most users well enough but isn't adequate for the continuous stream transmission required for video and audio programs over the Internet. With RSVP, people who want to receive a particular Internet "program" (think of a television program broadcast over the Internet) can reserve bandwidth through the Internet in advance of the program and be able to receive it at a higher data rate and in a more dependable data flow than usual. When the program starts, it will be multicast to those specific users who have reserved routing priority in advance. RSVP also supports unicast (one source to one destination) and multi-source to one destination transmissions.
