The Reservation agent allows you to obtain an allocation of bandwidth that begins and ends at dates and times you specify.
Reservations must be bought on the Merkato desktop interface. To buy reserved bandwidth, perform the following procedures.
Log in to the Merkato portal. (See “Logging In.”)
From the user interface pull-down menu in the browser window, select Desktop and click select.
If the Java plug-in works correctly, you see a series of download messages and the Merkato Desktop window appears.
See "Making the Reservation."
