WSA_QOS_RESERVED_PETYPE

Reserved policy types cannot be repurposed for private application data

WSA_QOS_RESERVED_PETYPE means a policy element in the provider-specific buffer uses a type value reserved for protocol or future standardization. Even when the payload and object length are well formed, a reserved identifier has no application-defined semantics that the RSVP policy component can safely interpret.

Find the producer that assigned the policy-element type and replace it with a documented standard or vendor-private allocation appropriate to the policy framework. Do not simply change the numeric value until both sender and policy decision point agree on the payload format. Record the element bytes and the SDK or private schema that generated them; collisions often appear when old software treats a placeholder value as available.

Policy-type compatibility record

  • Reserved type value encountered.
  • Application or library that emitted it.
  • Payload schema expected by the policy engine.
  • Documented replacement type agreed by both ends.
