IESG NOTE
This document is a revision of RFC 1190. The charter of this effort
was clarifying, simplifying and removing errors from RFC 1190 to
ensure interoperability of implementations.
NOTE WELL: Neither the version of the protocol described in this
document nor the previous version is an Internet Standard or under
consideration for that status.
Since the publication of the original version of the protocol, there
have been significant developments in the state of the art. Readers
should note that standards and technology addressing alternative
approaches to the resource reservation problem are currently under
development within the IETF.
Abstract
This memo contains a revised specification of the Internet STream
Protocol Version 2 (ST2). ST2 is an experimental resource reservation
protocol intended to provide end-to-end real-time guarantees over an
internet. It allows applications to build multi-destination simplex
data streams with a desired quality of service. The revised version
of ST2 specified in this memo is called ST2+.
This specification is a product of the STream Protocol Working Group
of the Internet Engineering Task Force.
