The BERKOM MultiMedia Transport System is designed for communication between distributed multimedia applications on top of broadband ISDN networks. Its core are the ST-II protocol on the network layer and an extended version of the XTP protocol called XTP-Lit on the transport layer. ST-II provides mechanisms for fast packet forwarding, multiple target connections and bandwidth management. XTP-Lite supports negotiation of QoS parameters, rate control and flexible error handling.
