Fixed versus Adaptive

* In fixed reservation scheme, the end host request the resource at the router level before a flow is established
* Each router then allocates enough resource to satisfy the request
* If the request cannot be satisfied at some router, because resources are unavailable then the router rejects the flow.

* In Adaptive reservation scheme, the end host being sending data without first reserving any resources at the router and then adjust their sending rate according to the feedback they receive.
