- Error reporting - when a node detects an error, an error message is generated with an error code and is propagated upstream on the reverse path to the sender.
- Information on RSVP flow - two types of diagnostic messages allow a network operator to request the RSVP state information on a specific flow.
- Diagnostic facility - An extension to the standard which allows a user to collect information about the RSVP state along a path. RFC2745 - RSVP Diagnostic Messages
