HeiTP-a transport protocol for ST-II
Luca Delgrossi, Christian Halstrick, Ralf Guido Herrtwich, Heinrich J. Stüttgen · 2003
The Heidelberg transport protocol (HeiTP) is a transport layer protocol for multimedia communication in the Internet. HeiTP is designed to run on top of the ST-II protocol and assumes that multimedia data travel along a privileged path in which services can be guaranteed via reservation or preallocation of the resources involved in the communication. How HeiTP supports the negotiation of quality of service (QOS) parameters and multidestination connections, and how error handling is dealt with in a flexible way are addressed. A mapping of the HeiTP interface to an extended version of the X/Open Transport Interface (XTI) that supports multimedia is also presented.>
