Subject: Use of RSVP in MPLS

Hi all.
After reading several documents and
IDs related to RSVP-TE and its use in MPLS
to setup new LSPs, it is clear that the setup
process is initiated by the ingress LSR
which sends an RSVP PATH message downstream
to the egress LSR.
Now my question are:
- who instructed the ingress LSR to send the
  RESV message ?
- would be it possible for the setup process to
be initiated by a end system wishing to establish
a new LSP through the MPLS network (a la IntServ) ?
Thanks in advance for your clarifications.
Regards,
    Roberto Canonico
