The IESG has approved the following document:
- 'A Framework for transmission of IP datagrams over MPEG-2 Networks '
<draft-ietf-ipdvb-arch-04.txt> as an Informational RFC
This document is the product of the IP over DVB Working Group.
The IESG contact persons are Margaret Wasserman and Mark Townsley.
Technical Summary
This document describes an architecture for the transport of IP
Datagrams over ISO MPEG-2 Transport Streams (TS). The MPEG-2 TS has
has been widely accepted not only for providing digital TV services
but also as a subnetwork technology for building IP networks.
Examples of systems using MPEG-2 include the Digital Video
Broadcast (DVB) and Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC)
Standards for Digital Television.
The document identifies the need for a set of Internet standards
defining the interface between the MPEG-2 Transport Stream and an
IP subnetwork. It suggests a new encapsulation method for IP
datagrams and proposes protocols to perform IPv6/IPv4 address
resolution, to associate IP packets with the properties of the
Logical Channels provided by an MPEG-2 TS.
