This document describes an architecture for the transport of IP
Datagrams over ISO MPEG-2 Transport Streams (TS).  The MPEG-2 TS 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.

This document is a product of the IP over DVB Working Group of the
IETF.
