Abstract

The Heidelberg Transport System (HeiTS) uses the Internet ST-II protocol as its communication core. ST-II provides adequate functions for multimedia communication, most notably fast packet forwarding, multiple target addressing, and bandwidth management. Some desirable additions to the protocol include graceful service degradation and queueing feedback for rate adjustment in the nodes. A transport protocol on top of ST-II should provide different reliability classes and take care of segmentation and reassembly.

We would like to acknowledge the contributions of other members of the HeiProjects. Special thanks are due to Christian Halstrick as the principal designer and implementor of HeiTP and to Frank Hoffmann who is our chief ST-II programmer. Carsten Vogt guaranteed to perform all work on resource management well beyond a best-effort basis.
