\begin{abstract}
  In this diploma thesis, the implementation of a networking protocol,
  which is adopted from a previous work, is refined to a state where
  it is ready for production use. The protocol is tailored for the
  specific needs in a cluster environment which uses standard ethernet
  as the interconnection hardware. Thereby focus is on developing and
  implementing a flow control scheme which is very lightweigt in terms
  of processing overhead and copes the challenges of such a tightly
  coupled network gracefully. Second, the Log(G)P models for parallel
  computation are examined and it is shown that they do not give a
  usable definition of the overhead or latency parameters for
  protocols whose overhead is $\mathcal{O}(\text{message
    size})$--instead, the P-LogP model is used to characterize the
  protocol and for comparisons to the TCP/IP protocol suite. Last, it
  is demonstrated that the protocol gives usable results with
  real-world scientific applications.
