Title : Address Resolution for IP datagrams over MPEG-2 networks
Author(s) : G. Fairhurst, et al.
Filename : draft-fair-ipdvb-ar-03.txt
Pages : 17
Date : 2005-2-9
This document describes the current mechanisms to bind IPv4/IPv6
addresses and flows to MPEG-2 Transport Streams (TS)and how these
methods interact with well known protocols for address management
like DHCP, ARP, NAT and DNS. For MPEG-2 subnetworks like any
other IP networks methods 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. In MPEG-2 networks, an IP
address must be associated with a Packet ID (PID) and specific
transmission multiplex either statically or via the use of some
specific tables. Address resolution complements the higher
layer resource discovery tools that are used to advertise
IP sessions. In this document the different mechanisms for
address resolution for MPEG-2 networking as well as their usage
are reviewed.

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
Internet-Draft.
