Description: Bandwidth reservation is a mechanism within network management that allows for the allocation of a specific portion of available bandwidth to a particular application or user. This approach is fundamental to ensuring that certain critical services, such as real-time video streaming or video conferencing, maintain optimal performance even under high network demand conditions. By reserving bandwidth, fluctuations in service quality are minimized, resulting in a more predictable and reliable experience for users. This process is integrated into Quality of Service (QoS) policies, which aim to prioritize network traffic based on its importance and latency requirements. Bandwidth reservation not only improves network efficiency but also enables network administrators to better manage available resources, ensuring that critical applications have access to the necessary capacity to operate without interruptions. In an environment where internet usage and online applications continue to grow, bandwidth reservation becomes an essential tool for maintaining service quality and user satisfaction.
