Assuming that LSP R1-R2-R3 requests the default fast reroute configuration, which router becomes a DMP for the detour tunnels?

RSVP (Resource Reservation Protocol) is used to set up an LSP (Label Switched Path) in MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) networks. RSVP uses two main message types for this process: the Path message and the Resv message. The Path message is sent downstream from the head-end (ingress router) to the tail-end (egress router) of the LSP. The Resv message is sent upstream from the tail-end to the head-end to confirm the reservation of resources along the path. Therefore, the correct answer is Path message and Resv message.

The path may comprise loose hop entries only, meaning it does not have to be strictly defined. The path must define the LSP's tail end, meaning it has to include the destination address. Additionally, the same path may indeed be used for multiple LSPs, allowing for shared path definitions.
