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.

IESG NOTE

This document is a revision of RFC1190. The charter of this effort was
clarifying, simplifying and removing errors from RFC1190 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.

This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet
community.  This memo does not specify an Internet standard of any
kind.  Discussion and suggestions for improvement are requested.
Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
