Title : Address Resolution for IP datagrams over MPEG-2 networks
Author(s) : G. Fairhurst, M. Montpetit
Filename : draft-fair-ipdvb-ar-01.txt
Pages : 16

This document describes mechanisms to bind IPv4/IPv6 addresses
and flows to MPEG-2 Transport Streams (TS). While methods
currently exist to perform these bindings, for MPEG-2 systems to
become true subnetworks of the general Internet, protocols are
required to signal IPv4/v6 addresses to the link receivers and
transmitters. This is known as Address Resolution (AR), or
Neighbour Discovery (ND). Although AR is often associated
with Ethernet [RFC803], it is essential to the operation of any
L2 network. MPEG-2 transmission networks often utilize broadcast
media (e.g. satellite or cable) where the mapping may take into
account issues related to network operations and traffic
engineering. In MPEG-2 networks, an IP address must be
associated with a Packet ID (PID) and specific transmission
multiplex. Address resolution complements the higher layer
resource discovery tools that are used to advertise IP sessions.
In this document the different mechanisms used for address
resolution for MPEG-2 are reviewed and guidelines for future
developments of efficient schemes are given.

In the body type:

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
