Customizing ST2 Services
114064 Rev. A 5-5
Tunnels are configured by the network administrator to establish ST2 streams in
networks where not all IP routers are ST2 capable. For transmission through a
tunnel, SCMP messages and ST2 data are encapsulated in IP datagrams and
forwarded through a non-ST2 router, and decapsulated at the destination.
A non-ST2 router can provide a tunnel for both stream data and control messages;
however, a router that lacks ST2 capability cannot guarantee the resources listed
in the flowspec.
