	Depends on what you mean by mechanisms... In your example, RSVP is
a signaling protocol, MPLS is a label exchange protocol used for
routing/traffic engineering, and DiffServ is a set of services (it's a
spec, not an algorithm or a protocol). So, yes, all of these three guys
can be supported at the same time because they don't address the same
problems.
